Unfortunately our review is slightly tainted by our initial thinking that the accommodation was fairly self contained. However this is very much shared living space with the hosts and you should note that the living area is utilised by them to sleep at night by drawing a curtain around the edge of the room. This isn't necessarily a problem if you are aware of the layout however we did feel slightly uncomfortable as the separate WC was only accessible by walking past the curtained off area. Otherwise the room is as described, clean and quite funky. The host are friendly and welcoming however we really were disappointed that the hosts did not inform us prior to arrival that the lift was not working as we could have rearranged our luggage to avoid carrying 2 weeks worth of stuff up five flights of stairs as we could have left items in the car! All in all would recommend if you need a room for a night or two as long as you appreciate the limitations.
