We stayed three nights in Al's place. Overall it was a good experience. There are a few things that might be a bit of problem. There is a bus stop just in front of the house so be careful about parking there! But you can park just one house away from the house. The kitchen amenities are not enough for 4 people and youn might want to bring your ow utensils or cups. The place is in the basement with about ten steps going down from the backyard. And you can hear the noise from upstairs and I guess from the central cooling system or something like that. It is about 10 minutes drive to downtown and there wasn't much traffic when we were there. Overall it is a good place to stay. I really liked that Ale was very helpful and responsive.
