I'm hesitant to share this review because I want to keep the place this place available to myself!
My tipping points are a private quiet space where I can come and go independently and this was completely that. The host clearly takes pride in this room and his entire house and that is much different than someone who is just renting a room. The room and bathroom were all brand new and sparkling. The bathroom looks like it was done by an interior decorator and there is TONS of storage in addition to a large closet. While the home is right next to the highway, you can't actually see any cars going by (wall with trees) and the noise is a pleasant whoosh from my point of view.
He was accommodating of my late arrival which I deeply appreciated. I will be staying here again!
