It felt like a pretty unique place to stay, I can't describe the common area well enough to do it justice. The place is close to local transit, so everything's easily accessible as well. Jackie offered local advice, an AC converter (as I brought North American charger cables...), even a water bottle and a bicycle in order to make my stay more pleasant, so she's a wonderful person as well. It can also be very social - there are a couple other rooms available within the same house so people are often coming and going, and Jackie hosts creative workshops as well as friends and family. All around a great time and if I ever return, I will be looking for Jackie's listings first.
