First of all, the things that we really liked: Michael was very nice and the space itself was clean and well decorated. The whole loft is nice, and the pictures really do not capture all of it. Of course it is also really conveniently located. (About 7 minutes walking to the metro)
Plenty of restaurants and bars located around. A couple of drug stores within walking distance as well in case you forgot anything for your trip.
As for the things that we did not enjoy, we felt that the listing was a bit misleading. It is advertised as a SHARED space. This may be our mistake, but we thought that it would be more private. With the mention that the host travels often, we thought that that may mean that he would be away. Once again, this may be our mistake. What we didn’t know was that there would be a whole other group of people staying in the space as well. On top of that, the walls were paper thin. Everything could be heard through the walls. Coughs, conversations, kitchen utensils, everything! It really did not feel as private as we felt was advertised.
It’s a great spot if you want the opportunity to mingle with people. Well located, and once again, the host was very kind. It’s just important that you have the right expectations going into the space.
