The first two words of the description are completely inaccurate. I was contacted the day before to let me know that the staircase was being repaired. One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to rent this place was because of the private entry. Other than that the room was nice and fairly clean. The bathroom is shared with another room but it was not bad. Overall a little bit inconvenient since we had to come in through the front door, but still enjoyable stay.
