I stayed at this wonderful place for 5 days. It was nice and I felt like staying at my friend's house. Even though It's not close to downtown, I didn't have any problems thanks to the good public transport system. Bus stations for #22, 25 are only half block away. Very nice residential area for the locals.
Anne is a sweet hostess, who filled up the refrigerator with yummy OJ and milk. And you can enjoy a garden view through the window.
However it's different from a hotel. If you expect things you can get from hotels, you may not be satisfied. I'd say don't compare apple and orange. This place is good as it is.
