You have complete privacy, it's not a B&B, you are not living in the home of your host, nor will you need to meet the host. The room is located in the backyard and is a self-contained unit. I doubt though if it's big enough for 2 people, it's tiny and floor space is limited so if it's only for a place to sleep, it could be ok. Yet it was all that I needed during my stopover. If you're a light, or early sleeper, you have to take into consideration that the ceiling and walls are thin and you can hear conversations as well as the TV from the apartment above the unit you are in. However, it goes quiet promptly at midnight. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom small but convenient. For this stopover I didn't need to warm up food or store it in the fridge as there are great restaurants and coffee places just a few blocks away.
