This is my first time for renting a “room” vs. having the whole place to ourselves, so nothing to compare, but Lisa was a very kind and gracious host. The bed was very soft, but comfortable, and the street was safe and relatively quiet (you can hear the trains, but they didn’t bother me to sleep). The shower was a bit too strong, if you can believe, but fine. The house is walking distance from Philz coffee if you don’t take up Lisa’s offer for coffee. We just needed a place to sleep and shower, and this place perfectly fit the bill.
