The space was exactly what I needed! I was taking a week-long intensive class at a local university and just needed a place with internet , a comfortable bed, and a private bath for 5 or 6 days. Gerard's place had a comfortable bed with lots of great amenities. It was remarkably clean and tidy. The bathroom was especially clean and neat.I really appreciated the snacks and the bottled water in the fridge. It was nice having a microwave and small fridge in the room, and the iron and ironing board came in handy. The room got cool in the mornings, so the little heater provided made all the difference, as did the extra blanket in the cupboard. There was also a portable air conditioner in the room, so I would assume in hot weather that would be useful as well).
Unfortunately, the electricity was turned off late on the last evening because of an emergency repair that was needed down the street, but Gerard communicated it to me as soon as he knew about it, and there was already a flashlight with fresh batteries in the room. The private entrance made it even nicer! I was close to many restaurants for dinner. The Internet was adequate for what I needed, though I didn't really spend much time watching television.
I also appreciated the privacy. I was nervous because I had never rented a room before with Airbnb. But, it was perfect! I was largely left alone, which is what I needed with my hectic schedule and homework. I had a private entrance, private bath, and the ability to lock my door behind me when I left. And, it was very very quiet.
Add to that an absolutely unbeatable price, and you have a perfect accommodation. I would definitely stay here again!
