The house is fantastic and in a great location. I was there for a week for a conference and it was close to everything I needed and easy access to the metro and grocery store. The house is really nice, Joel was very friendly and I appreciated being able to do laundry while I was there and that he had a hair dryer. The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is because I had to reach out to him the day before I was arriving and get the code to the door. And when I walked into the room, the bed looked like it had been haphazardly put together. I also had to hunt around for toilet paper and towels and for some reason there was no hand soap... which I hadn't considered how necessary I found hand soap until I found myself without it. haha. I just felt like he had forgotten I was coming almost. My first full day there I returned to find my bedroom door wide open and found my room had been cleaned. I was surprised by this because it wasn't a hotel and I hadn't been informed that this was happening even though I had seen my host that morning. Despite these small things - it was a great stay and I would absolutely recommend. This is coming from a solo female traveller, who's also crazy anxious and paranoid.
