everything was as expected. since it's new I'll elaborate a bit..trains are close by as described, the bed has one of those comfortable ikea memory foam mattresses, everything in the kitchen and bathroom functions properly (including microwave, shower). As they mention from the bedroom or the common area it's possible to step out of the window onto either a fire escape or a small empty roof space between second stories which I think extends to the street (didn't check). Common area gets a lot of sun in the late morning early afternoon. If they haven't added it yet they recently got a small friendly cat who was fun to play with. The heating functions normally and can be adjusted. The room is insulated from the street so noise shouldn't be an issue. Jenny was a great host, received a letter for me and offered to print out something I needed at her office
