Everything is as described. Laundry isn't self-service. Common spaces aren't always perfect because of multiple users (as expected) but the landlord keeps it clean as much as possible. I didn't give 5 stars because of disagreement with the landlord over a grey area use of the common area. We couldn't come to an agreement and I went to a different place that better suited my travel plans. There was nastiness involved due to personalities more than anything else but as far as the landlord and his AirBnb goes, this is a legit place.
