Not great
Our host was really welcoming and allowed us to check in an hour early, which was great. The location is excellent. However, our room (two single beds) was, to be honest, abysmal, even for the price. The carpets were full of ominous brown stains, there was no lamp or place for storage, hairs and stains on a thin and old bedding, and bugs. There was a bizarre noise of running water which sounded like a leak that could be heard constantly. The bathroom had no paper to dry hands, which was frustrating. I've never felt more excited for my own bed.
