Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this place. The pictures and high reviews were deceiving. Most importantly, I felt unsafe, heard loud noises at night (host's music--he turned it down after I texted him at 1 am, nearby club music, idling semi trucks, railroad crossing noises throughout the night--I slept little), and experienced daily sneezing, congestion, and headaches due to the filth/dust/toxic-smelling stench.
When I arrived, there was the sound of a man snoring in a curtained area downstairs. I was not told about this. I did not know this person and was highly uncomfortable. There was no key given to lock the rented upstairs "private" room. Rather, one can lock the door when inside but not when away. It was apparent that the host had been in the room to turn on fans/space heater when my peer and I were out. Additionally, when I went to use the shared bathroom downstairs one early morning, the back door was open, which made me feel very unsafe as a female staying in an area I don't know, esp. since I did not know who was staying downstairs and that person (the host's "assistant," I later found out) was gone. The host dismissed me and my friend's safety concerns completely. The area is on the outer edges of an art district but more like an industrial area. The dwelling is a cement and metal structure--nowhere I would want a female, and most men, to stay for safety, comfort, and cleanliness reasons.
The floors and rugs were filthy. Dust was thick. Lighting was dim. Foil was covering the windows. No place to put one's clothes/personal items besides the floor and a chair. The host's personal clothing was in the bedroom furniture. Toxic, strong odors. Prolific cobwebs. Bathroom had no mat in shower area. No place to put personals in bathroom and the small area was not clean. Mold was found on the upstairs fan.
If I had more money and time, I would have forfeited the money and found a safer, cleaner option. If I did not have a peer with me, I would have felt terrified to stay there alone and definitely would have found another option.
