of course it was clear from the start my bed was in an open space, Christine asked me beforehand if I was aware of that. nevertheless I hoped it would've had some sort of room divider or a screen to create a bit of privacy. I felt too exposed with several men renting rooms around me, very bright automatic lights switching on in the middle of the night so that's why I stayed only one night. I won't say anything bad about Christine and her husband, they are very friendly, welcoming people and if you rent your own room with them you should have a wonderful stay there. About the cleanliness: it could do with a bit more tlc but with so many people staying there and using the facilities, it's quite a task so understandably it's hard to keep everything spic and span. Toilets and shower rooms though are clean
