This is exactly what the review says, a small room in a shared house. This room is towards the front of the house which makes it quite hot even though the house has AC, so I had the fan on all the time. The room is also next to the communal bathroom which at first seemed like a downside, but really I would just pop my head out to see if it was occupied. The one downside was the ants. They seemed to come from the carpet? And got all over my clothes, but once I shook them out and put them in my bag and zipped it up I didn’t have other issue.
The location was ideal. <10mim drive to old town and was able to jog down and around the rosebowl.
