This is a Pholcoid spider, commonly called Cellar Spiders in the US. They aren’t dangerous at all. The joints in their legs are distinctive. I can’t tell you which species it is from a photo, unfortunately.
Yes, I took the picture with my cellphone. Sadly, it doesn’t show much detail.
Could it be a Pholcus Phalangioides, based in the shape of the abdomen?
Thanks!
It is the most likely answer. From the World Spider Catalog, which attempts to give info on every species in the world, Pholcus phalangiodes is the most cosmopolitan species of the genus. https://wsc.nmbe.ch/species/26587/Pholcus_phalangioides
