In short, it's a great place to stay! I didn't meet Dan, but he was easy to reach and responsive over email. There were no problems getting in when I arrived, and while it was a little awkward running into his housemates at first, they're incredibly friendly. They also work and have their own interesting lives so the house is very chill and quiet.

Dan's room is spacious with a great view, and the rest of the house is equally awesome. There's a back garden you can spend time in if so inclined and a spiffy bathroom complete with rain shower head. If there was any downside, it was that I walked away with a sense of envy that I couldn't live there all the time.
