We confirmed 4 months in advance that we would get a private bathroom. On the first day of the reservation the Air BnB host told us via phone that it was now a shared bathroom. He gave us access to a second bathroom but that was also shared. Part of the reason I booked this Air BnB was because the host confirmed it was a private bathroom. There is a bright light outside of the room at night and the shutters do not keep all of the light out of the room- you may want to consider bringing a sleeping mask if you decide to stay here. The floor in the hallway creeks when someone walks on it and woke my wife up at night but did not bother me. There are a lot of items downstairs that make it hard to walk around sometimes but it is easy to walk around in the bedroom. It is in a great location- very close to a subway station and the two cats are very friendly.
