Hospitable hosts, often around to help with anything, answer questions, or provide suggestions for local stuff. The neighborhood is full of good and reasonably priced restaurants. The space was relaxed during the day, just a tv on, and I came and went pretty much whenever. There was usually activity around 7am and 11pm, but it's a shared space so this can be expected, and other than those times it was totally quiet. We got to talk about politics, and even though we disagreed on some things it remained calm. I was nervous that he keeps a gun in his house, but he assured me he is responsible with its use. I got to try some really delicious Chinese tea before I left. I'm glad I had a chance to try this place out!
