Andy is very easy to deal with. I was an hour late and he was totally fine with my tardiness. The home is in a great location if your plans are octagon focused. The room is very basic, it's like a dorm but you have your own bed. You can lock yourself in, but you can't lock your door if you want to go out. I don't know if towels were available but I didn't see any so vital to bring your own. The queen bed I stayed in was soft, sheets were quite old fashioned as well as the blanket. Not a cosy home but for $50 you can't expect much more!
