It wasn’t clear to me that this is two separate spaces — the kitchen and shower are across the hall from the bedroom, as you can see from studying the photos. It is as private as such a setup can be (I never encountered anybody, and Suzanne’s other rental is the only other flat on that floor). Otherwise, it’s a really nice and stylish space. Everything is newly renovated to a high standard. The location is also ideal for food shopping.
As for communication, I never waited more than a minute or two between contacting Suzanne and getting a reply.
