It's exactly as described. Building is old, mostly uni students but we didn't have any issues with noise or anything else, in fact it was quiet and calm during our stay throughout days and nights. Don't expect a view from the balcony but other than that, this is an excellent choice to stay in. Host is helpful and it's clear he's set this up this with great care. Sometimes, you go to a place and it's nice but then you're looking for a wine opener or something and it's not there. Being a frequent traveller I have to comment that every little thing is present and thought of here, the appliances etc. are not the cheapest you can get, and it was very clean (as in not even mold spots in the shower corners clean). Even the bed mattress was good. So, you get what you see and expect to be positively surprised by everything not seen.
