It should be noted that this is directly above the usual tenants. Although the host was friendly, we did not make contact until the day of check in, when he approved my dog- nephew’s attendance in the apartment. The place is squeaky and you can hear noise from down stairs, even if it isn’t outrageously loud. The shower is small. There are no doors for the different rooms, other than the front door. The front bed is a (very firm) futon. Pillows are in short supply and are pretty odd. The actual bed is placed where you could hit your head- and you do, because you’re half asleep while on it. We ran out of hot water the first night, after the boyfriend showered. Our guess is that the tenants were also showering at the same time, but that is a theory. All in all, the place was fine for the price. The host was very polite and tried to accommodate as far as noise/ music rehearsals went. Even so, I probably would have preferred to spend a little more. The $20 you save isn’t worth it.
