Saurin is a solid host- he is very quick to respond, helpful with recommendations for restaurants and things to do, and the common areas as well as the rooms are spacious, clean, and well decorated.
However, we were surprised to find out we would be sharing a bathroom, which turned out poorly in our favor as those who we shared the bathroom with spent their sweet time. Also, expect loud noise at night from cars right by the window in the alley as well as from AC/heat unit turning on-- these noises woke us up numerous times throughout the night. Also, we didn't know Saurin would be living there as well and hanging out in the common areas of the apartment much of the weekend. Saurin seems like a great guy, but it just wasn't what we expected from the listing and averted us from spending much time in the common areas upstairs.
