I was in town for a conference and looked for an affordable place that was still within reasonable public transport distance of the venue. Babs's place was exactly that. Bus 12 is right around the corner and it takes you straight to the centre.
Check in was extremely easy and convenient. The fire alarm in the room was beeping for a battery replacement, and that got fixed forthwith. The room is pleasant and spacious, with more than enough closet space. Babs provides those tremendously fluffy towels you only expect in posh hotels. The bathroom is shared with other guests as mentioned, and I had no issues with that. Very comfy shower.
The place does carry sound a bit, which is fine as long as every guest remembers that they're guests in someone's home and keep it down a bit. I saw earlier comments about the kids' noise, but I didn't experience that at all. Being able to hear them is not the same as being disturbed by them, and I thought they were adorable, running to open the door for me and stuff like that.
This place is really good value for the money. I'm glad I picked it.
