Ok, the accuracy of the place is true. The host does live there with a roommate. Thus, you have one of the three bedrooms. Your room is spacious! However, the entire place is somewhat cluttered with old worn furnishings and host debris. I wouldn't recommend the kitchen for anything (i.e. ice in freezer is covered with melted ice cream, cover maker has old coffee rinds in it, etc.). The one bathroom is shared by all and not exactly presented for guests. The bathroom sink lacked hot water. If all you want is a place to crash and an AWESOME balcony to wind down upon then this is your place. If you want a hotel room type quality, then is NOT your place. I would NOT stay here again.
