Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The listing is as described: new, clean, simple, comfortable. The shower is super. The location is about a 20-30 minute bus ride from downtown, but is also within walking distance of lots of shopping, coffee, restaurants, etc. A good bit of sound from the house upstairs can be heard when the family is there--this is not an insubstantial issue depending on how sensitive you are to noise. For me, it was balanced out by the upside of having a private space at a good price.
