If you're just staying at home and wouldn't travel much and get home at night, it's probably recommended because it's quite cheaper. But if you'll be travelling a lot, i wouldn't really recommend esp the lights are out and you're almost blinded when outside the house at night. There's a smell inside i couldn't explain. It's not so bad, but you could almost smell the age of the house. There was thick dust on the corners of the room like there was a repair that happened. Good points though, even without heater, the bed has it's own heater which i think is more relaxing when you sleep on it during winter. The host was helpful and accomodating and feels like you could get along well with her esp when you'll be staying longer.
