Overall, pretty much as I expected although it did seem a bit expensive. The room was big and comfortable. No real complaints but a few things to know: 1. The street noise was pretty significant during the day and evening but it was pretty quiet at night. They did provide a small fan in the room which helped greatly when it was hot. 2. It was a little off putting all of the rules and penalties posted and written everywhere, but I understand why they have to do that. 3. I saw lots of comments about how difficult the check-in was, but if you read through the information carefully, and ignore some of the older photographs of the check in process, there was no problem. I did kind of feel like I was a spy in a movie though. 4. Because you share a bathroom with another room it is stressed that you must keep it clean and dry. But the shower has no barrier to the rest of the bathroom floor so every time you shower it soaks the entire bathroom floor. However you’re only given a towel and a small bathmat to try to clean that up after every shower and it really just wasn’t sufficient. 5. You are sharing an apartment with three other rooms, and there’s no guarantee about the smells that may come from other people and the kitchen. But that’s just how it is so if this bothers you it might be an issue.
I thought the neighborhood was good and convenient to walking around the city. And as long as you know what you’re getting into, it’s a fine place to stay. I did have an issue with the Internet being out for a day and that caused a bit of a problem with trying to work, but the hosts did get it resolved within 24 hours.
