The host is excellent and is great with communication. The little room and bathroom were nicer-looking than the photos portray, fairly clean, the neighbors are quiet and the building is gated (the host provides you with a key to the gate). The internet is fast and stable.
Downsides:
-It located on the 5th floor, so it took me 45 minutes to bring my 3 suitcases up 4 flights of stairs (only stayed one night here, but I am in the city for my job for 3 months).
-The bed is more uncomfortable that anything I have ever slept on, so I could not sleep at all. The bed is hard, lumpy, covered in a plastic mattress cover with really old sheets on top. The pillows are very old and lumpy.
-The mini fridge was unplugged when I arrived, but I did not know that until I returned in the evening to my food which had melted in the freezer and leaked onto the floor.
-No second roll of toilet paper, or paper towels.
-I feel like these issues can be fixed easily with a few dollars towards new bedding and a mattress cover, and I hope for future residents there is communication to plug in the fridge and that it is located on the 5th floor.
