As described in the listing, this is a kind of funky space, with the room on the top floor, but the shower on the bottom floor. All things considered, this is a minor inconvenience, for the incredible value and location that is this apartment! It is so centrally located, so convenient for everything, a great place to be a tourist. Peter was very responsive to questions, but very hands off---we didn't see him the entire time. We prefer that, but if you want interaction with the host, it might be something to note.
