Accessible, great value, well maintained and cleaned.

The train nearby gets a bit loud sometimes.

It was very simple to arrive and enter, the instructions sent to me were extremely clear and the house is easy to find. There are 2 rooms upstairs and I was on the "Biru room", at the end of the corridor. But it seems both room are the same, only the place of the beds change. There is also 1 room on the groundfloor, which seems to have it's own bathroom and toilet. So you have to share the kitchen + living-room, and bathroom with the other 2 rooms. I never had any problem during my stay (around 5 weeks) and had to wait like 10 minutes maximum 3 or 4 times. I would describe my room as pretty big, with 2 simple beds, a furniture to put my clothes in and a desk with 2 chairs. There is also a bedside table which was put between the 2 beds. There was an powerful AC to warm or cool the room, in just a few minutes. Downstairs there is a washing machine, and on the 1st floor after the bedrooms at the end at the corridor you have a door giving you access to the balcony with iron sticks to dry your clothes on. No need to worry about rain, there is a plastic roof all over the terrace.

The stairs are quite steep and each step is narrow (I could fit only half of my foot on each), it's okey to go up but going down be careful. I prefer to indicate this in case someone with trouble to walk or equilibrium problems consider this house. It's next to the Eizan line tracks. The bedrooms upstairs have windows giving directly on the street and then the tracks. The Eizan line run from 05:30 in the morning until Midnight. This fact is not hidden, you just have to look up the location on the maps, but I prefer to note it. If you are a heavy sleeper like me, it won't bother you.

The accommodation would have been amazing if I hadn't been moved to another room 4 days into my stay. While this is not a problem, the new room was infested by bed bugs and the bed not properly cleaned.

The other room I was moved in after 4 days had a bed infested with bed bugs. I tried reaching out to the host for alternatives but was left on read for a whole day and didn't get an answer by the next day, when I already moved out the night before to an alternative accommodation. As this is a private accommodation, Booking.com will not refund or relocate you. The host refers to Booking.com and Booking.com back to the host. In the end I departed early with two days left in my stay and had to pay by myself for a new hotel. This is absolutely unacceptable. In the end I payed for 2 accommodations and for over 20 bed bug bites on my body.
