The location is an outstanding spring board to activities around Little Italy and Little Portugal, as well as to downtown which is available through a short uber or transit ride, or a longer walk. Being older, the house is small and the walls are thin, so the quality of your stay may be affected by whether other guests are courteous and considerate. The furnishings are minimal but satisfactory for the purposes. The water was able to get upto and stay at a good temperature. I only used the refrigerator out of the kitchen facilities. The room lock and the property's door lock worked well.
Unfortunately the fantastic location and competitive pricing were offset by a poor state of cleanliness of both the room and the property generally. The room itself was minimally cleaned with dust and debris (hair) present on the floor and on desk and headboard surfaces. Particularly unfortunate was the state of the shared washroom, which was in need of a deep clean from the outset. There was regularly hair and grime around the toilet and shower and the shower "mat" was a raggy tea towel which was overdue for a wash. The state of the bathroom continued to decline as other guests came and went during the period of my stay. This greatly diminished my personal comfort.
I was provided only one poor quality towel for the entirety of my 6 night stay. I would recommend the host provide multiple, better quality linens and/or that guests be prepared to bring their own towel(s). The room did not have an iron as advertised, and while it had a bedroom curtain, it was not a "room-darkening shade" as advertised.
Overall, the property is a fine place to stay if you are intrepid and can live without some comforts, but my experience with the cleanliness makes it difficult to recommend for most.
