George esponded quickly to my request and was clear and explicit with check-in directions. His home (with that terrific view!!) does require a steep, but very brief hike from mass transit. Room has a large open feel, queen size bed. As stated in his ad, he prefers to keep a low profile and I would hardly know he was home. Despite my brief stay, I felt welcomed and very comfortable coming and going. Quiet neighborhood; slept easy. Firm mattress. Lots of pillows. Really wish I'd had the time to sit on his balcony and soak up the views. As most of my travels will be with my wife, I'll miss this an opportunity; good choice for the value-conscious solo traveler, especially on foot.
