Short answer: This place does have a few quirks, but it is clean and we felt safe, with easy access to public transportation, and an affordable rate, it worked fine for us. If you want to know specifics, read on… Two of us stayed here, and overall enjoyed our time. The price was a prime motivator, and we were grateful to find somewhere so affordable. The location did work very well with public transportation. The neighborhood has nice diversity, so good variety of restaurants, as well. We felt safe walking in the neighborhood, and with a nasty heatwave happening we were comfortable leaving windows open at night. The washer worked well, and the drying rack was a bonus. Some unexpected adjustments we needed to make: the pictures on the website show the ceiling slopes with the roof line, but it took a day or so the get used to living with this, so we initially bumped our heads a few times. The hot water in the shower fluctuated, even with brief showers. We did NOT share the space with others, but DID share the storage space with our host’s personal items, as she actually lives there much if the time. It took a minute to figure out an area to spread out toiletries, etc., but wasn’t a difficult adjustment. I mention these things for people who are not particularly adaptable. Our host provided a nice selection of teas, and a small space in the refrigerator for our use. Overall, the space worked for us at a price we could afford. Win!
