The house was quiet and very clean. While there is an air conditioner in the bedroom window that doesn't appear in the pictures, I didn't use it since the central air was adequate for the 80 and 90 degree daytime temperatures during my stay. No shoes in the house - there's a rack just inside the door for your shoes. Due to COVID, kitchen appliances weren't available. Since there was no place to hang clothes or towels in the room I used the chair for that. I used public transit, and since there's no Metro station nearby, it can take a while to get to the house by bus depending on where you go (but usually less than an hour from where I went). For the bus I usually took there is a stop just around the corner, less than a 5 minute walk. Check-in/check-out was convenient with a keypad. I appreciated that Gary gave me the option to drop off my bag prior to check-in. I also appreciated Gary's quick response times. The room was small (I didn't use the common areas) but fine for a single traveler who just needs a place to sleep for a few days.
