PROS
1. the hosts were very responsive - we got really cold in the unit and they provided an extra blanket for us too!
2. great location, convenient even by public transportation (there's a shoppers and a T&T grocery store within 10min walk in case you need to get anything)
3. free parking on the streets (you gotta be good at parallel parking)
4. bathroom had all the essentials (shampoo, conditioner, body wash)
5. you can use the laundry machines which was great
6. the host has a "Guest" netflix account created so even if you don't have your own account you can still watch tv
HEADS-UPs
1. the mattress was VERY soft - seems like it's due for a replacement. frankly it was way too soft to be comfortable and my back hurt after sleeping on it for a week (but this could be personal preference)
2. minor inconveniences but you will have to always hold down in order to flush the toilet and the water has a hard time going down in the sink (not dealbreakers though)
3. you will be sharing the house with the host family and should expect to hear noises in the house
