Given that so many travelers stay in the flat at once, your experience with people could greatly vary from mine. However, cooking, using the bathroom and relaxing in common areas was never an issue, during my stay. Bedroom specifics- this room does not get wifi, and only has a very tiny window so it's pretty stuffy. Sound carries very well through the flat; I could easily hear whatever was going on. I enjoyed my stay, had an easy time communicating with the hosts, and would return.
