The room is in a home with a few other rooms rented to other travelers. Everyone was kind and cleanly. The home itself is literally a 2 minute walk to the subway. Super convenient. There are also cafes, a grocery store, and great restaurants within a five minute walk. Getting to the entertainment district and the waterfront is about a 25-30 min subway ride away changing between lines once. Getting to/from the airport only takes 35-45 min.
I did not get to meet Frank to ask for travel suggestions, but he was very responsive for various questions.
The room itself has a big closet and enough space for two travelers. The pillows and bed aren’t the softest and the room is warm during the summer, but there’s a window to open during the night, and it was a good accommodation for the price.
You will share the bathroom with others, but it stayed surprisingly clean. There is a musty smell in the bathroom but not bad enough not to stay here again.
