The house is in a good neighborhood but it does need some work. The room was comfortable, with the basic amenities including fridge and micro. There are a lot of house rules that i had thought i read beforehand but evidently didn't. The laundry is off limits, and you're not supposed to leave stuff in the bathroom (shampoo, toiletries) which is hard for someone who is staying more than a couple days. I never met the host. But there was a girl who lived there that was very nice and helpful.
