Great for solo travelers - Joshua gives great tips and treats you like a friend. I'm recommending for solo travelers because it truly feels like you are just staying with a friend which was fine for me but I wouldn't pick this for a couple. Common areas were pretty cluttered and there were always lots of roommates/friends around which again didn't bother just me. Joshua gave me great tips on restaurants and was super friendly which was really nice since it was just me in a new city! Also he has a mid-sized dog, very well trained but be aware if you have allergies.
