The shared room is more like a detached apartment, so it really feels like your own space. The real selling point is Mike and Donna, whom were very welcoming and accommodating. I could go on and on, but I think the countless previous comments sum up the experience quite well. Simply put, stay here if your interested in immersing yourself in the city/country you are staying in as airbnb puts it. Thanks Donna and Mike! We had a great time.
