There are 2 people living with the host, so you should be comfortable seeing a few other people as you walk down the hall to the bathroom. The host was hammering one night til past 10pm. She did stop when asked but wasn’t aware of how late it was. Based on other reviews and the description, I expected it to be a bit more quiet. Host was very nice. Room was clean but no air conditioning - happened to be the hottest day of the year.
