I would describe this as quite a Spartan place to stay. It has the things you need but would not be suitable for someone who likes a lot of home comforts. I stayed in July during the Australian winter, and was very grateful for the heater and hot-water bottle that were provided in the room! I would also recommend bringing plenty of warm clothes if you are staying at that time of year. I only met Petra briefly but she was welcoming and friendly, and I had some interesting conversations with her housemate Morten.
