Everything was just as described: Izzy is a very nice host, the basement bedroom is cozy and well equipped, kitchen & bathroom are both well equipped and clean.
Izzy always made sure I had everything I could possibly need and responded quickly to messages.
It was very easy to reach downtown by bus & subway in around 45 minutes, the bus stop is just a two-minute walk away and busses and subways run very frequently.
Overall definitely recommendable, would stay again!
