The listing description, if anything, said less than what the experience gave me. William and his family were warm and caring and it truly felt like a home away from home. His kids were in the same age range as me so I really enjoyed talking with them too. His wife, Angela, was really helpful too and was always there to answer my questions in the kitchen (and had coffee ready every morning :) ) I came to NoHo for dance and was able to access Millennium Dance Complex, Movement Lifestyle, Debbie Reynolds, and EDGE all very easily by Metro. I was never out after dark, but the neighborhood was very safe. They had hosted dancers in the past so knew that I would be out all day and then need a shower when I got back. I had my own room and bathroom which was really great! I would definitely stay with them again if I come back to NoHo.
