The place is everything as described. The only minus was that we never met Allen personally.

We arrived an hour early, as the border crossing took 4 minutes instead on an anticipated hour. Arriving too early, we went out for lunch first at Long's Noodle (great place) and I drank too much tea. So, we show up an hour early, ring the bell, and a kindly elderly gentleman (Allen's father?) answered the door. He gave us the key, let me use the WC (due to the tea) and gave us directions on getting downtown. It's $2.75 for the bus #41 which takes you to the train. Get a tranfer and bring coins (that's all the bus takes).

We arrived back in the evening and were left alone. There was some noise from the family that lives there. They sound happy and there may be kids. This didn't bother us in the least, but be forewarned; it's a house that's lived in and enjoyed, not a library.

The room was great. Bed, TV, free Wi-Fi, great shower, fresh towels, very clean.

Allen and his family were very accommodating, I just wished I had met him.
