Al is a genuinely cool guy with an equally cool space. The room is very private and you don't have to walk through common areas to access it. The location is superb - took me less than 30mins to get into the city via train. And if you're lucky enough to be around at the same time as Al, he offers you wonderful tips on places to go and things to see. I have a very erratic schedule with early mornings and late nights, but I felt very at home and welcome in Al's place.
