I really enjoyed staying at Julia's moms place. It's located in a cute house in a - to a foreigner - typical english looking street. The neighborhood might seem a little 'lively' but felt safe and the street you're on is quiet. I recommend going for breakfast at the hummingbird cafe a few blocks down...yamm.
Communication with Julia leading up and during the stay was nice and fast, it felt like really being a guest. There was not a problem in leaving the luggage earlier in the day. Though I never actually met Julia's mom I got along pretty well with the other room mates. They were helpful,nice to talk to and it was cool getting to know them and their stories.
The room was nice,big enough,had its own freaking fridge and a sink which I really liked. The bed might be small for two but fine for one. The Mattress was pretty soft though. But that's just one minus. All in all I would recommend staying there and would always come back
