Paul seems like a perfectly nice fellow and I can see why perhaps young travelers would be okay with this situation, but I think it should be clearer to potential guests that this is basically a private residence turned into a dormitory. The shared bathroom was very cluttered with all sorts of products from another guest (a mother and daughter who also commandeered the bathroom for so long I nearly had to leave without brushing my teeth in the morning). While not filthy, the common spaces were very cluttered, windows and doors were left open and insecure, and the volume level of other guests was very disturbing (I was kept awake till nearly 2 a.m. by intoxicated guests upstairs). Again, fine for a younger traveler or someone expecting a dorm or youth hostel type environment, but I found it awkward and uncomfortable.
