Stayed at Sharon's place for 3 nights and had a great experience. The room is definitely compact but I found it had everything I needed. Sharon was also very hospitable and accommodating, e.g. showing me how to change the temperature if needed as I was going to be staying at home during the day on a weekday. It's in a nice residential neighbourhood <5 min walk from the L train station and ~25 min on the L train to downtown. So while it's not right downtown, it's very easy to get there. Would stay again.
