The host was present on our arrival. We were a little early but he welcomed us and showed us around the small studio The previous guests were just leaving so it was a little awkward for the host but he handled this with good humour.
We were quite shocked that the place was so small and basic with not even a chair to sit on.
When we made our coffee in the morning we had to sit on the bed to drink it and we were nervous of spilling on the sheets!
The small window was held open with a block of wood and the bathroom was really old.
Overall the place was very clean but the entrance hall was shabby and crowded with bikes and shoes from the flats in the rest of the house. We felt we were in a bit of a cubby hole and it felt quite claustaphobic.
