First thing to say before my comment: my stay was to last three full months, and therefore I expected to find a welcoming place and quite nice hosts.
The cleaner doesn't come cleaning the room unless you meet her and kindly ask her to do so. Otherwise there is a robot cleaner and a woman coming three times a week to clean the common dining room and bathrooms (this frequency is necessary as there may be more than 10 people in the residency).
When I arrived at the house, the hosts were not here to welcome me, and I found the cleaner who wasn't aware of my arrival whereas I had told the host Hua by WhatsApp. So that my room wasn't prepared (understand cleaned and changed bed sheets) consequently. I had to wait for 2 days before meeting the hosts, and they never let me visit the entire appartment (as a consequence, I discovered during the stay that it was forbidden to wear shoes inside the appartment, or that my hosts used to throw away some food which was in the fridge because of a lack of space _even if it wasn't sometimes out of date, RIP my frosties' cereals twice during my stay_).
In terms of communication:
On the one hand, the hosts are reactive and helped me three times when I faced difficulties (providing me with a bike pump and a calculator when I needed it, e.g.), and proposed me to help me packing my bags the last night before my departure the next morning. On the other hand, I expected to find a far more welcoming place with common meals at least at the beginning, and hosts more encline to talk with me. It was not the case at all, and even if I like their dog, I have to say they spontaneously talked to their dog and looked like ignoring me the first month. In addition, my feeling not being welcomed was strengthened by some pannels (eg on the fridge: "to the thief of the fridge: stay away of my food").
My room was very small, just fitted a bed, a closet, a small desk, and a radiator. The isolation between the rooms is not optimal and I heard my neighbours when watching TV or talking to each other. It can therefore be difficult to study if you don't hear music with headphones meanwhile. You have many equipments you can use to cook or to wash your clothes, but nonetheless no dishwasher and the two fridges may hardly contain all the food of the tenants when we are more than 8 in the appartment (you have to be good at maths to solve the optimization's problem).
As a conclusion, I find it more appropriate for a family stay lasting less than one week, eg to visit London or to see relatives, as you can use many equipments and be quite independant.
