I booked the room via the listing’s ‘Instant Book’ feature which was available at the time. It seems that the host did not know about this feature and said he was considering other potential guests! I wasn't happy with this, mainly as my booking fee would be lost if cancelled. However, the host only confirmed two days after I booked.
The host’s housemate greeted us and was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.
There was no description about the kitchen but we didn't intend to use it much anyway. If this is important to you then I'd ask for a description/photos.
The price seems fair given that there is no door to the bedroom (there is a screen instead), the fact that someone has to be in person when you leave due to the front door locking system, and how clean the place is.
