  No privacy at all!

  Disliked: I stayed here for six weeks, and it was by far the worst experience I have ever had through Booking. You are actually living in the same house as the host, which was not made clear in the listing, and this means there is no real privacy. I constantly felt observed and uncomfortable. Despite respecting all the rules and trying to be considerate, I was repeatedly criticized, insulted, and treated in a very unfriendly way. The host sent me multiple aggressive messages, including threats that my belongings would be placed outside on the street without any valid reason. She made unfounded accusations, demanded money, and created a hostile atmosphere that made my stay extremely stressful. I cannot understand how this property has received such positive reviews, as my experience was the complete opposite. Perhaps it is only tolerable for very short stays where guests do not use the facilities. For a longer stay, it was unbearable. Overall, this was a nightmare. The host is not capable of accommodating guests in a respectful or professional manner, and I would strongly advise against booking this property if you expect privacy, safety, and a peaceful stay.
