Overall: Comfortable, clean, quiet, out of the way homestay-like set up, with 3 rooms being rented out. Communication with the host could be more streamlined, clearer, and organized. The host, as stated in other reviews, seems to live elsewhere.

Bonus: The Newton Food Centre is a short walk! And there's a washing machine on premises.

Cons: 1) The kitchen does not appear to be newly renovated. Faulty stove, and refrigerator needed to be replaced while I was there. According to the host, the holiday interfered with delivery of a new fridge, so it was wrapped in bungee cord for the entirety of my 7 night stay, which was unfortunate. 2) Communication with the host was cumbersome and created some difficulty initially. I think providing options other than Viber to communicate important info--such as Skype calls or calling card calls--would have been helpful.

To be sure, the space itself is comfortable, even with faulty kitchen, which I understand will be remedied soon.
