All I have to say about my stay has been said in the few negative reviews I found.
I am seriously baffled by the generally positive comments on this place. I suppose for young backpackers who are ready to endure Thai hostels, this is good enough.
First and most important, it is a run-down, shabby appartment. Wherever I looked or went, it was messy, dirty (beyond the immediate surface), old and shabby. My sense is that the host actually does not live here -- she was in Australia my entire stay, 10 days -- and simply milks the asset with the help of a "cleaner". No tidying up of the place, no maintainance at all (for at least 10 years, perhaps 20), only superficial cleaning, change of bed sheets and towels (mine was missing, by the way).
All the cheap talk by Elizabether about "my humble, simple home" should be discarded and replaced by: this is a cheap, run-down, shabby place, fine for backpackers who want to avoid hostels. Everyone else should look elsewhere.
Finally, the host herself. She is absent but nonetheless a control freak. She messages constantly and wants to talk, uselessly, including before you board your flight to Singapore (?!). I had to stop her. And she's awfully mean, constantly mentioning the price of electricity; she wanted to charge $5 to use a non-heating washing machine, for which you have to unfold a hose into the shower: seriously? She demands that you send a scan of your passport beforehand, pretending it's a legal requirement, which is plainly wrong. (What is a legal requirement, which she ignores, is to comply with GDPR when you ask an EU citizen for a scan of their passport. What does she do with her guests' passport scans?...)
I do not recommend. Avoid.
