The hosts are very nice and I am sure they are wonderfully accommodating, but the listing itself is misleading. Yes this is a shared space, but we were not prepared for how shared it actually is. Many key amenities are shared with the hosts, who live on premises full time - specifically kitchen, laundry, entry and access to the actual unit.
Hosts also live within the unit on premises. Unfortunately this was not adequately described in the actual listing, otherwise we would not have taken it.
Upon arrival at the unit, hosts informed us that the sink in the bathroom was not working, which means we would also have to share a bathroom with the hosts. Even though hosts informed us they do not use the bathroom, it would require going to a different floor and further encroaching into the space of the hosts, greatly reducing any sense of privacy.
