Shyam was a great host and very responsive. I stayed at his place for 18 days for work. It was quiet and two blocks from beautiful Sloan lake - peaceful and beautiful place for daily walks. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and it is close to everything and near downtown. The place is nicely furnished and has everything you might need for an extended stay to cook meals in. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of space for two people. He was conscious of noise and asked me to let him know if any issues. This is an older home so you will hear footsteps above you from time to time but I never had an issue. However if you are very sensitive to noise/footsteps above you this may not be the place for you. There is his dog named Rosie but I never even knew a dog was there for several days until I heard like one bark. She is very friendly and quiet as dog goes. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again the next time I am in town.
