My experience, having lived in a flat with cement flooring:

Good:

Looks: rustic

Cost to do: low

Bad:

Attracts scratches because everyone thinks "it's rustic" so they drag the chairs, tables, boxes etc on the flooring. And these scratch marks are like scratch marks on wood, can't be covered. What's worse, the scratch marks exposes the cement powder to the air.

Someone left a box with adhesive tapes underneath it. The glue on the tapes sticked to the flooring. Cleaning with alcohol rubbed off the layer of protection on the flooring and now there is a ugly patch.

Always remember Crack lines are not avoidable, never use different cement brand in one house, make sure the sands purchase are higher grade type cause tinny sands may result hollowness under the cement surface.
