This place is more like a hostel than someone's house. You are NOT renting an "entire home", as the subtitle implies, but one of many rooms in a house. The room I stayed in was shabby and unfinished. There is much more to it than what is pictured. There is significant noise from the street and from within the house. This being said, the location was extremely convenient for my trip and check in/out was very smooth. I never actually saw anyone in person. The front door was not always locked, but I was able to use the lock on the door to my room. I did not look upstairs to see the kitchen situation.
