it's extremely bare bones. it's clean, but I was a little taken aback by the creepiness of going down to the basement. looks like some construction was started at some point and abandoned. If you're a light sleeper, you might hear footsteps above you all night. I wish I had better idea of what to expect but I understand that the photos are meant to put the room in the best light possible.
Even though the place was less than comfortable, I can say that Mercedes is a great host.
