Place was clean but extremely small - smaller than the pictures portray.
Room was extremely hot despite having the fan on. There's also NO WINDOW! Sunlight and fresh air is not possible. Bearable for a couple of nights max but beyond that, it gets too claustrophobic.
Music from somewhere was LOUD! You can hear it through the floor. There was a 'white noise' machine in the bedroom which the host said 'is great to put you to sleep' but it didn't do anything at all. Clearly the noise is an issue if there's a white noise machine in the room in the first place.
When we arrived, she said the light in the room was broken and we had to use the lamp instead till she got a replacement bulb and that the coffee had run out but that she'd also refill; both of which she didn't fix throughout our entire stay despite her saying she would do so the next day. Not a deal-breaker but as a host, empty promises isn't really great for business.
The drainage in the bathroom was awful which made for an uncomfortable experience. Listing says there's an iron but when we asked her, she said she doesn't have one. Perhaps the host should update their listing on what they actually can provide. Good food and bars nearby and the walk to the subway wasn't too bad.
Overall, an OK experience but was expecting better given the high ratings.
