I stayed two nights at Andrey and Shane's place. Shane greeted me the first night I arrived which was nice.
The basement apartment was as described. The bathroom and kitchen were well stocked. The location was convenient for where I needed to go for my conference.
There are two issues I had: the uncomfortable bed and the amount of noise. The bed was really lumpy for me personally and I woke up achy both days. As I had to wake up early both mornings, the noise I could hear wasn't as big of a deal until the second night (Saturday morning) when there was quite a lot of noise upstairs at 5 am.
If you aren't bothered by noise when you sleep, this won't be an issue as everything else was good.
