This was a very bare-bones room… genuinely just a bed and closet. The neighborhood was noisy and dirty, with scarce parking.
Reasonably close to public transportation, but not pedestrian-friendly. Sidewalks were broken or missing altogether in places.
I never spoke with the hostess, but her mother was frequently home. In general, I didn’t feel very welcomed and mostly kept to myself.
For budget-conscious single travelers who just need a place to sleep, this would work. Otherwise, a motel would be a better value in most cases.
