Ryan is a great host. He sent very clear access instructions the day before my stay, and had a window air conditioner all set up when I arrived, which was fantastic, because it was definitely a hot day! The air conditioner cooled the room down quickly with no problem. The bed is comfortable and there is a large closet with a full length mirror which was a bonus. The wifi is fast and easy to access. The el is super close and convenient, but I was primarily using it between 6pm-10:30pm and frequent catcalls and questions about my relationship status (seriously? I'm nearing 40 and wearing a wedding ring, jeans and flip flops) were enough to convince me to get a parking spot downtown to avoid that. I felt totally safe during the day, though, and most people were quite friendly and say hello when you pass on the sidewalk - a very pleasant small-town "neighborhood" feel that I wouldn't expect in a big city. There is currently only one shower to share amongst all the guests, but there is also a second half bath on the main floor and I saw a large bathroom being remodeled on the second floor, so hopefully that will be ready soon. The shower that is available is really nice, large, and has plenty of hot water - and Ryan provides towels, shampoo, and soap. Also, there is a fantastic little pantry "shop" available with chilled drinks, snacks, and basic toiletry supplies, which was a really nice perk! All in all, I definitely recommend staying here.
