What I liked:
The location was great - the house is on a main street and you don't hear the noise from the traffic when you are inside; easy access to public transportation - a bus stop is across the street and the nearest train station is about 7 blocks away; the housemates were nice and friendly, they made me feel welcome and gave me a lot of good information on transportation, where to buy groceries, BsAs attractions, cell phone service, taxis etc.; there is a washing machine and space to hang your laundry on the roof deck; the space heater was great and really heats up the room

What I did not like:
The cat - I am not a cat person; my room was dusty when I moved in -- to be fair a fountain was being built in the open foyer and that could have caused the dust -- there is a person who cleans the common areas but not your room.
