If you are looking to hide this is the place for you. The room has no ambient light. The advertised room should mention that there is no ambient light. You will be sitting in a lamp lit room anytime you are there. The common area is the garage, including the large garbage can in the corner with the heap of bags around it - yuck. The advise received for renting prior to booking was ill-advised, especially for a college student/young adult staying for a 6 month internship. Entry instruction were not provided prior to travel and had to be requested en-route. The only good thing was the corner store located across from the bus stop - 2 1/2 blocks away - it was run by a good group of men (and they make good subs). And, the neighborhood did appear to be quite and clean. Other than that, I'd suggest to book elsewhere. My son left after the first 10 days of his 6 week booking. When we notified the host on day 12 that he was out, he did not respond.
