Cecilia’s place is definitely quirky. We saw the other reviews about lots of stairs so we were mentally prepared.
It felt like staying at our artsy friend’s house. Lots of interesting, dusty things everywhere.
It was a few minutes walk away from everything, the kitchen was in good condition, and we even got a load of laundry in. There was A/C in the room, so it kept things cool during the hotter parts of the day. (Especially because this room is in the attic, it traps heat…)
Now, addressing the fact that there’s no door—in general, my partner and I still felt like we had a lot of privacy. The entrance is up some spiral stairs, but it’s at the back of the apartment where it feels a bit more private. I never worried about people coming up. The stairs are a bit uncomfortable to go up and down, but it makes it easy to hear if someone is coming.
The roommates were respectful and out of the house most of the day. If people are talking at all though, we could definitely hear it since there isn’t a door. So, this is a hit or miss depending on your roommates.
In conclusion, don’t expect a fancy experience at a luxury hotel. For the price, however, this room was definitely worth it for the location and the amount of privacy we got even without a door. We stayed here for 4 nights/5 days and it was comfortable for our stay!
Oh, I also work full time and the WiFi was mostly fast for video and normal work tasks.
