This is a very old, basic house. There is no privacy. The upstairs bathroom looks directly into the downstairs bathroom via a see-through vent, as does the upstairs bedroom vent look directly into the living room. The house is very creaky so if you get up in the middle of the night, others will hear you. No private conversations and no hanky panky. If you like old, vintage, this is the place for you. My husband liked it, but it wasn't what I'd choose again.
