The place was fine, clean and a great location, just as expected for the price. The host was very friendly, greeted us upon arrival, then left us to our business. It was very sparse, and a basement, so I wouldn't want to spend any time there, but as a cheap room near the zoo, it was great. My primary complaint was that it was a basement apartment, with only one exit, the stairs up and out to the door. The windows were too tiny to fit through. I don't know what the zoning laws in the area are, but it seems dangerous to not have a second exit in case of fire. Other that that, the stay was comfortable.
