This place was absolutely worth it for the price: I think it's ideal for a graduate student or a single researcher like me who needs to be close to transportation: I never lived so close to the Metro station which is very convenient. The host is very helpful, responsive and responsible. I'd say that the overall area is not always ideally quiet -- so I'd recommend before signing up you make sure you understand peculiarities of this area: many friends of mine find it rather cool and special, so it's all about the individual needs.
