Laura was an extremely accommodating host, she responded quickly making check in and check out a breeze for my last minute reservation.
The room however is the bare basics and the only upside of the apartment is the location. Beyond that, room was not particularly immaculate and neither was the bathroom. It was clear that the room rented was one that someone lived in rather than a proper guest room. The room door couldn't be locked and Laura thought this was no issue. She instead reassured me that the people in the house were very nice and left it as that.
Perhaps my previous host set the bar too high, and was even much cheaper but in the end, my friend stayed in the apartment briefly and I stayed with a friend for the night. It merely sufficed as a last minute solution.
