Roy is a very good host, who takes time to really get to know you. Hi Kim during the so-called off season and I found his room very affordable. His room faces a busy street-- but with ear plugs and a sleeping mask you will be comfortable on a nice bed. You can catch the number one bus right out in front of his flat that will take you to and from Waverly station. There are a couple of nice coffee shops in his area. My recommendation is the Red Kite. Also, nearby is a food Coop.
