Pros:

Cheap and value good, you get what you pay for.
Has TV and Netflix, and a sink in the room which is nice.

Cons:

Amenities could be more inviting, vibes of a well-run-down hostel.
You have to call the host when you're at the property and she only answered after 10min which we had to wait in the rain, so I suggest to call earlier already to get you lockbox code.

Very basic and not an inviting feel. Great location.
Pros:

Location was the main positive.

Cons:

Its an old building and feels like a run down hostel. Shared showers were not great but there was hot water.

Pros:

I enjoyed the friendly welcome I received yesterday. I was shown the facilities. My host was relaxed, chatting. I felt so good, after a long drive. The double bed room was far more spacious than I had ever expected. The bed was made with obvious care, the sheets were ironed, clean and comfortable. I was happy with the pillows and bedspread. I didn't use the TV but it was there. The free WiFi password was emailed previously, so connection was a breeze. I'm a restless sleeper at best, but I didn't hear anything from the street other than the steady rain.
I'll be back!

Cons:

The Met is an older establishment. Having said that, very little concerned. I liked the little nooks you could relax in or have a quiet chat. Travelling around the world, this is rare.

I did not sleep in the room due to not feeling safe
Pros:

Nothing first impressions scared me and never slept in the room. Sleeping in your car is the better option

Cons:

Main problem is safety I did not feel safe from the moment I stepped in and feels very dirty for the brief 5 minutes I was in the room for
