I booked this place because of all positive reviews, specially concerning the location. So Ill go through the good, the bad and the ugly now, so you can take your own decision.
The good:
The room is clean and corresponds to the pictures. The hosts are friendly and welcoming.
The bad:
First of all, be prepared for a very thorough interrogation by the hosts before they accept your booking. Do you know the kind of questions that border protection officers ask you at the airports? Multiply that by 4 and there we go.
You will be sharing a regular-sized apartment bathroom with the hosts and a respectable number of guests, depending on the occupancy at the time.
You will be handed 5 keys to lock and unlock 4 different doors, each of them with their own particularities regarding the way they can get locked and unlocked.
The mattress was way too soft for my personal taste and there was a plasticky thing under the sheets that made that very present plasticky sound every time you turn.
The ugly:
It is definitely not a premium neighborhood, to put it mildly. All the reviews stating that it is a great location are hard for me to understand. On the short walk from the rundown subway station to this space, be prepared to walk through a creepy lot with a crashed and abandoned car, lots of trash on the sidewalk and on the properties along the way and people walking and standing with an intimidating body language, that might make you consider use the opposite side walk.
