Ken's place is alright for a short stay. The bathroom would benefit from some renovation, we also had a minor problem with the sink that Ken fixed the next day. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, a bit far from the center; the public transportation is very complex and can be a pain in the neck, but once you figure it out, it's ok. You can also walk to the city center, but it takes minimum 30-45 minutes, which can be very pleasant it the weather is fine.
Ken is a good host, an easy-going person. He provided us with info when needed, answered quickly to my messages and respected our privacy.
