The location and safety of this rental couldn't be beat. The host is accommodating and communicative. However, there were a number of significant issues with this guesthouse. First, the owner has 3-4 large dogs - not disclosed in the listing - that are in the common courtyard. The courtyard has a distinct stench. These dogs rush at you when you leave the house, and bark when you go in and out. Second, the layout is challenging. It's a railroad flat that requires you to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom (from the kitchen). That affords very little privacy. All of the rooms are tiny, making it difficult for two people to be in a room at the same time. There were not adequate supplies, so we had to supplement with blankets and kitchen supplies. And finally, there were no instructions at all, so we never did figure out how to work the TV, and were able to connect to the internet once we texted the owner late at night.
