Phil's place was very spacious and much better equip than similarly priced accommodations on airbnb as it includes a full refrigerator and a portable electric stove. The presence of a full(ish) kitchen is significantly better than most other airbnbs in this price range. In addition to a microwave. It has a separate bedroom which is nice, as well as quite nice furniture and a comfortable memory foam mattress. The place is in the basement, and there is a second airbnb property within the same basement, and the entrance is from the side, so it's in essence a mini-hotel in the basement. There is a laundry/washer which is really nice, though it's $5. So there's definitely a hostel feel, but it's good that a laundry/washer is available. Because the room is directly below the main house, and next door to another airbnb, it can get very noisy with footsteps from above and talking from two sides - something to be cautious of if you are sensitive to noise. The place is very close to a local main street (West Portal), a quick 5-10 minute walk to shops, restaurants, etc, as well as to the metro, which is very convenient. In addition, there is plenty of parking which was never difficult to find.
