I thought that the place will be a normal apartment, turns out its more like a hotel room, the host redesigned whole bottom floor of the building into 5 smaller apartments so the walls are very thin, you can hear everything from someone talking, watching tv, walking down the stairs to using the shower etc. There were some nights (not all of them) when i had to put earplugs on because i couldn't sleep. Even simple conversations at 2am coming from the room next to me were very hearable. You have cameras at the building's entrance and also centraly above your room's door. It made me feel less private instead of more safer but i guess it's a personal thing. The kitchen also lacked couple of things, there was no cutting boards and only 1 knife which made cooking harder. Besides that the host is easy to contact, usually responds after an hour. The internet is very fast, metro is 2minutes away and theres every store u need nearby. Overall i had a good experience but im used to living "cheap"
