This was my first time renting a room and sharing a living space with a stranger; so, things could've gone badly. However, we only had one "hick-up" with regard to temperature control, and it was quickly addressed. I think the property manager was very communicative and responded quickly to requests or inquiries. I was able to use the common areas for work, cooking, etc. and my co-tenant was very respectful. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.
