the location was great, in a good neighborhood. Room was very small, but that was to be expected! I didn't need anything more. Everything was just a bit dingy though. Stains on the walls, bathroom had a golf ball for a flusher and that thing looked coated in gunk, and the purple package material covering a hole in the ceiling of my room was a bit strange. (it moves around and makes noise a lot because of keeping the window open) I didn't use the shower, so I can't speak on that. The host communicated really Well, and I had all the privacy I needed! Lockbox key is always a huge plus. Room locked with a cute skeleton key. I enjoyed my stay, just only used the bathroom for the bare necessities.
