I did not read reviews prior to booking this place, but I was very upset to find out it was NOT an actual apartment, as advertised, but rather a small one-room basement in the host's home. Avoid if possible -- we froze and were woken up at 8AM by screaming children. Upon leaving the apartment in the morning, her two young children were painting and playing in her backyard (3 feet in front of our door) and were loud. Not the kids' fault, but this is not at all acceptable.
