This was the best experience I have ever had with a private room in a shared apartment on Airbnb. The door to the private bedroom is immediately next to the apartment doorway, so that entering and leaving the apartment can be done without any interaction with the host if so desired. The door locks securely from the inside or from the outside, providing secure storage while away from the unit. All of the furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. Coffee service is provided, along with a European style refrigerator and a Mr. Coffee drip machine. It was great!
