It was very clean. There is a separate double bed, fridge, cooker, modern washing machine, if you want to self cater it will suit you. It is also air conditioned which would be useful in the heat. The sofa bed was adequate for a week's stay. There is a large TV, but no channels, however Netflix and You Tube are available. It is a converted basement, but we rarely heard the owners who live above. It is 25 minutes by subway to Union Street and downtown, but only 5 minutes walk to the station. Right on the doorstep there are restaurants selling a range of international foods. It's a quiet area..the nearest big supermarket is 10 minutes away. A good place to stay and relax if you do not mind medium length subway journeys. The owner Ora replies well to emails, moreover she was very helpful when it came to minding our luggage on checking out day.
