This is NOT the entire place to yourself. It is a guesthouse with many rooms and while you have your own bathroom and small kitchen you do share the common living room space as well as the coffee maker. You can hear guests upstairs speaking at a normal volume as well as when they are walking. The downstairs room smells of mold and mildew so if you have respiratory concerns, this is not the room for you. The host was communicative because you have to meet them to get the key, this is very inconvenient if like me you arrive late due to circumstances beyond your control. (Two people were hit by the train in front of mine.) They will expect you to pay a late fee in CASH. Be prepared. I am sure this a fine stay for the price if you are not looking for the entire place to yourself. Please note that the construction is NOT across the street is is at the fence line in the backyard and the workers begin promptly at 8AM. You can hear the yelling to each other as if they are in your room.
