I really have a hard time giving a mediocre review. However, I think it is fair for future guests.
First, to point out the positive:
- host is very quick with responses and very commited to making the stay comfortable
- excellent geographic location
- decent bathroom, was always clean
- nice kitchen (which I did not use)
Coming to the downsides:
- it is a small and old place, walls are thin, and there's quite a lot of people staying there. I had people coming back home at 1am and 2am every night. Started making calls, cooking, slamming doors. Completely killed my sleep. Also the bathroom is subject to availability which ,especially in the morning, can get busy.
- the bed is super small, no matter in which position I was lying, my feet were hanging out - and my height is just at average
- there was a weird smell in the room, couldn't quite determine what it was, letting in fresh air was difficult, since the window was broken
- at least in my room, there was another door leading to another room which I could not lock. so technically, my room was not lockable.
After all, I personally feel that the room is very pricey considering the actual condition. Additionally, the stay is very dependent on the other guests. I am sure you can have an amazing stay if guests are more considerate and less noisy at night.
