This is a great spot! The upstairs room is private, comfortable, and had a nice view. I spent my two days there exploring downtown. The first day, I took a cheap rideshare downtown. The next day, I walked and took public transit, which was easy peasy too and even cheaper. I didn't get to meet Claudius and Amanda but their stand-in hostess Carol-Marie was so welcoming and helpful. Lots of convenient little touches for a budget traveler - I used a tap card that someone had left to ride the metro, and it happened to have a couple rides still loaded on it. There was also quite a bit of food donated by previous travelers to the communal areas in the kitchen, so I didn't have to spend too much on food. All in all, this was everything I needed and more in a super cute and comfortable home! Thanks guys!
