I would have been happy paying this price for a truly private apartment, but this should be listed as a room in a house. There is practically no sound privacy, and the noise from the upstairs is constant. When I was laying in bed, it was as if I was sitting in the living room with them, I could hear every word of their conversations, and it's likely they could hear every word of mine. Do not expect to sleep past 6:30 AM even during the weekends - the morning and evening routines of this family include music in the room directly adjacent to yours. The lights in the stairwell connecting the living room and this room will randomly be turned on early in the morning. If you are planning to use the room to write or take work calls, you will find it too distracting with the constant footsteps and conversation and will likely find the cafe down the street a better option.
