The host was very helpful upon arrival. Very clean room and great location. I only wish that I knew that this was more of a room than an actual apartment. The apartment sits on her first floor, at the bottom of her steps. She can enter your room at anytime from the inside of her house, however there is no way you can lock yourself from her area. I did not feel as though I was in a completely private area. I could hear a lot of footsteps from above me and the automatic garage door below me was very loud in the morning and in the evening. There is no a/c. I needed to close the window because of the noise and wanted to sleep. The fan made noise and kept me from sleeping.
