The place is exactly as it is in the picture. I was here for 2 weeks when I was looking for permanent accommodation. The host works long hours so do not expect for him to be around much, we had very limited (once or twice a week) conversation. The only small problem I had was during check in, he left a wrong key and had to come back to give me a correct key and was getting frustrated. until he figured out , it was indeed the wrong key. After that I simply stayed without asking for too much or too many questions. He is still learning english so you will not have much conversation anyway.
Overall, It was okay experience, no issues, just do not expect a warm welcome or a host who would look after you and make you feel comfortable or anything. He minds his own business, gives you a key and does not bother much.
