Very efficient, clean and cost effective way to stay for me, a single person. Only had a neighbor to share the bathroom with for one night and as long as they know the rules, it goes alright. The 'rules' should be boldly posted in the bathroom, how to lock and unlock doors, other courtesies to extend to your neighbor (noise, etc). Kitchen was all equipped and very clean when I was there.
