Not exactly what we expected. In many ways, this was good - we discovered Little Ethiopia nearby, and the nearby Grove turned out to be excellent. Also, we were happy to realize that Jay's housemate was almost non-existent; we only heard him, never saw him, and never had any conflicts of space. The room and kitchen were beautiful (only the bathroom was rather ugly).

However, the room is not quite a "private" room - it is separated from the kitchen by only a thin curtain. We are a bit security conscious, so this phased us. Also, Jay uses an electronic lock on his front door operated by the August app. The iPhone app has bad reviews, and the Android app has worse ones. The main issues we had with the system were that it took a long time to authenticate (a minute or two of waiting each time we wanted to enter or leave) and that it would leave us locked out if our phones died.
