The hosts live in the same building but Christina and her husband were very frendly. He showed his guitars collection and we spoke a lot about music. The common areas, like the bathroom and the kitchen are cleaned very often, so it was always clean and even if the bathroom was shared, it was always free. The neighborhood is safe and very close to the Kings Cross and the Canal Area witch is beautiful. During the night you can hear the cars passing the road, but not that loud. The checkin was very straight forward and everything was great.
