The pictures are quite accurate but they don't tell the whole story. What I wish I'd known is that the room is not in a B&B style place but rather a kind of rooming house or single-room-occupancy (SRO) situation. Bill (via email - I never met him) provided me with a code to get in the front door which was convenient and another code to get in the room. I discovered that the room code does not get changed with every guest which made me feel a bit unsafe. Adding to the lack of security is that the door does not have any locking mechanism on the inside - like a deadbolt or chain. You just have to trust that it's locked from the outside with the one coded door knob. I also encountered a few roaches (little ones) but the room was pretty clean (although not when I arrived at 6pm due to a mix up with their cleaning person). The location is okay but very noisy due to neighbours and an inexplicable number of cars racing and garbage trucks.
The good: Wifi was pretty solid. It's less than 30 minute walk to most things. Ed the building manager is very sweet and helpful.
If you decide to stay here:
Bring earplugs! The walls are very thin so you can hear the tenants quite clearly and also the traffic outside. Earplugs were the only way I could get any sleep.
Hot is Cold in the shower - ignore the red section, it will only get colder if you turn the knob toward it. Also, it takes a while to warm up and then it fluctuates quite a bit once in there.
Don't flip the lock over when you are inside - that is unlocking the door not locking it. It locks automatically.
Taco Shack is a block away at B & 7th has great, authentic Mexican food.
Bottom line. You get what you pay for. As a solo female traveler, I did not feel safe and would not stay here again.
