Kurt's place was cozy and had good access to public transportation.
Also, there was free parking which was not very difficult to find and less then 2-3 minute walk back to his place.
We felt safe at night in his neighborhood.
In terms of the neighborhood, very much a working class commercial district is nearby, not overly clean with some options for dinner which was nice.
I think the space in the room was very nice, clean, clean towels, large comfortable room, very well presented for check-in.
We shared the bathroom with Kurt, which was not an issue and was always clean and almost always available for use so we didn't find this to be particularly challenging.
Kurt was a generous host, offering access to his kitchen and even made us hot tea when we arrived. He spent a good bit of time introducing us to his neighborhood and gave us a city map and made notes of suggested hot spots and areas to visit.
