We did not meet Allen but his family was very nice. The private room and bathroom were clean and included all amenities you might need including wi-fi. The house is 30 mn from downtown but bus stops are really close and there is so much to see in South Main!
If you have a car, parking spaces are free all around the neighbourhood and safe. Such a clean, private and fair price option is hard to find in this expensive city. We recommend Allen's guest room!
