I loved my room at Jake and Jo's house, especially waking in the morning and rolling up my window shade to reveal a beautiful view of the autumn leaves in the park. I barely met Jake (though he poured me a nice beer at the end of a long day out) and I never met Roo, Jo was very friendly (making me a cup of tea on my arrival, sitting for a chat, sharing her birthday chocolate) and helpful (assisting me by text in getting from the train station and into the building at night after I'd neglected to put the instructions in an easily findable place on my phone.)
I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others wanting a relatively affordable and pleasant place to stay on the East side.
