Nice but overrated
Pros:

The place looks very nice, it's comfortable and it's mostly clean. The kitchen is fully equipped and the host responds to messages (also she let us check in after hours which we appreciated very much).

Cons:

1. The name is a bit misleading. There are ~30 bus stops between the house and the city center and the bus often stops on each one so it's usually more than the advertised 30mins. Also this bus is your only connection to the city if you don't wish to walk almost 20mins to the tram. Also you are on the opposite side of town compared to the airport, so all in all I would say the location is not so good.

2. The house has way too many rules (shoes off on entrance, no eating in your room, turn off the heater and open the window when you're not in the room, quiet hours) and too little privacy as all of the rooms are on the same floor, so it feels weird even talking with your normal voice after 10pm, as you're afraid of waking somebody up. I mean most of the rules are understandable and I wouldn't want people behaving differently if it was my house either, but then I don't rent my rooms 🤷‍♂️

3. The water pressure in your private bathroom is sometimes great, sometimes terrible. I got a feeling that it has something to do with the time of day in which you shower. So let's say you want to shower between 11pm and 10am - you will be showering with literally drops of water. At other times during the day, it's great.

4. I love and have pets myself, but the cat keeps licking the faucet in the kitchen from which you drink water, so if you have a problem with that, I suggest you buy bottled watter or drink from your bathroom.

Gran estadia, mascotas, bonito, limpio y seguro! 🇮🇪🥰
Pros:

Me gustó todo, sobretodo sus mascotas, ella tiene 2 perros y un gato, y son un amooor, yo que amo los animales, para mi esto fue lo mejor del alojamiento. Se te acercan a saludarte todos los días, son súper cariñosos 😍

Las cosas que destaco: lo limpio que estaba mi habitación y el baño, era lo primordial para mi; ya que iba a compartir el baño con las personas que viven en la casa. La cocina impecable y Helena muy amable me dejo cocinarme unos huevos duros y guardar lo que compré en la nevera.

No sabía que se estaba alojando otra persona en la habitación de al lado, y en la mañana coincidimos pero me dio un gran susto😂 nada malo solo que no sabía que estaba ahí. Pensé que sólo estábamos Helena, su hijo y su novia, que también fueron muy amables y simpáticos. Lo único que dejo como acotación , cuando fui a bañarme el primer día salía muy poca agua, estaba caliente pero era muy poca, entonces no se que habrá pasado, no pregunté porque pues yo me bañe tarde y ya todos estaban durmiendo. Al día siguiente me volví a bañar y sin problema, salía agua con normalidad y potencia. No fue problema, solo que si me iba a lavar el cabello el viernes no hubiese podido porque salía muy poquita presión de agua 😂

La ubicación me encantó , si bien no queda dentro del centro esta muuuuy bonito, es súper residencial, muy tranquilo y seguro. A la vuelta de su casa tienen una tienda donde podrán comprar comida y/o lo que necesiten y al lado hay un restaurante de comida asiática, muuuy bueno la verdad, recomendado. Esta era mi primera vez viajando sin mi familia o novio a otro país y quedándome sola en una habitación, y realmente decidí alojarme acá por todos los comentarios positivos que tienen, y no me arrepiento. Me sentí muy cómoda y segura.

Sobre el transporte, la parada está afuera de su casa. Y yo tome el autobús número 14 para ir al centro. Los domingos demora un poco así que recomiendo salir al menos media hora o 40 minutos antes, porque si se le va puede demorar.

Cons:

Nada, todo me gustó
