Neil was a very very kind and communicative host. He greets you when you arrive to give you the layout and is very easy to chat with. The room had a clean bed and shelves. Just to be clear, the house is an actively used space (bathroom, laundry, kitchen) by Neil and his work hours can extend into the evening. You don't need to be quiet or anything but it's not a private space. For me, because i was rarely there, this was a great deal and worked amazingly. My only real concern was not having a lock on my personal bedroom. I felt very safe and comfortable with Neil but i also want to lock my bedroom just for personal safely.
