Even though our hostess was friendly and responsive, going as far as letting us know about a potential public transportation strike, the room itself had several shortcomings: the room had a very strong smell of mothballs (maybe due to poor air circulation), the bed though comfortable had very economical and thin pillows with a down comforter that puffed up feathers and dust (terrible for allergies), the shower had very low water pressure, the hair dryer did not work (it overheated after 1 minute and shut itself off) nor was there a plug to connect it in the bathroom, and the internet was very slow. The room also had very little noise privacy as you could hear all of the neighbors including the proprietors next door (the room is isolated from the main house by one glass door that we assume connects to their living room/kitchen area, unfortunately they were having a family altercation at 11PM on a Friday night). We did very much enjoy the location of the apartment, but ultimately would not stay there again.
