It was a nice, comfortable room and bed. Though I was too caught up in my own tasks to talk much with Frank, he was very personable when I did interact with him. I don't recall any mention that the house was relatively near the subway line, and this meant (at least on the main floor) that every 10 to 15 minutes there was a light rumble and vibration in the room. Only a consideration if you're a very light or stressed sleeper (no problem for me). Very convenient location for walking or transit to many amenities (restaurants, stores, coffee shops, pubs, etc).
