The room was not exactly what I expected--it was quite small (i.e., just enough room for a bed and a desk), strangely laid out (i.e., the sink was near the bed, not in the bathroom), and had some quirks (i.e., no air conditioning, which was a problem since we stayed at one of the hottest times in the summer). To add to it, the price Airbnb charged was $400 more than what the hotel would have charged had I booked directly with them, which, added together, meant the space was not that great of a value. I ended up staying because it was very close to the university and that convenience made it worth it.
