The first thing that strikes you about Ben's place is how tiny it is. The bedroom, kitchen and bathroom are all exceptionally small. The bedroom is not the same as the one shown in the photos - believe it or not, it's smaller. It's roughly 7'x5' with barely any room for any luggage you might have. I was a little pissed about this deliberate misrepresentation - the pictures on the website are not of the bedroom I stayed in. The bathroom is also very small - the bathroom sink literally touches your face when you sit down to do your business. Not exaggerating. While I found the compactness of the place amusing at first, it started to be irritating very soon. The apartment/flat has 5 bedrooms in total, at least 2 of which are doubles. So at full capacity there could be at least 7 people using the 1.5 bathrooms in this tiny flat. The kitchen is also super tiny with a mini fridge divvied up between the 5 rooms - so you get roughly 1 cu ft to keep your stuff - if your housemates are nice and use only their designated space, that is - in my case they weren't. There was no fan in my bedroom - it can get pretty hot in the bedroom. Communication with Ben on the Airbnb app was slow and fruitless - I was told there would be an iron box in the house but I didn't find any despite messaging Ben almost everyday about it. The apartment/flat building is old and quite dilapidated.
On the plus side - the connectivity to the place is great - there's a bus stop literally outside the building. The WiFI speed was really good - no problems with internet whatsoever. The place is spotless - very clean! The fittings, furnishings and appliances in the kitchen are all very modern.
On the whole, I did not have a good experience because of how cramped I felt all the time.
Before staying at this place I did not know such extremely tiny apartments existed - kudos to Ben for having taken some nice pictures of the bathroom, kitchen etc which belie the actual size of the place.
