This is a very clean and homey place. The room is small but has what you need. The people who live there are very nice. I would advise bringing a small battery fan if you are sensitive to heat and if it's hot weather, as there is no ceiling fan or AC. And the morning sunlight does come in around the window shades -- but that is the case at most places. There is some street noise, but I didn't really notice much during sleeping hours. It's a safe area, but a bit of a walk to get anywhere. Great mid-size supermarket in the next building over. I think this place is worth the value.
