This place is exactly as advertised. It's not its own room but rather a nook in the living room that's been curtained off. The curtains are pretty thick and wide, so they actually do provide a level of privacy, and there's a window so you get natural light in the morning as well. You are right next to one of the bedrooms, so you can hear everything going on in there, and it can be jarring every time the people in there come in and out when you're in bed. There seemed to be a lot of turnaround during the two days I was there, but everyone was polite and kept to themselves. I was never worried leaving my bags in my "room." No one really hogged either of the two bathrooms all that much, and I never had to wait all that long before one opened up. Definitely bring earplugs and an eyemask to sleep though. There are many rooms in this apt, and any time any door opens, you will hear it and wake up. However, for the price, you likely won't find any cheaper accommodation in the area.
