Gary’s place is conveniently located a 4 minute walk from a bus stop and a 12 minute walk from Wellington Station (for the metro). The neighborhood is very safe, and I felt comfortable walking around by myself even in the evening.
Stroll east for a few minutes and find yourself at a corner store where you can buy bottles of water for your room and snack items. There are also great restaurants nearby for dining.
The room was comfortable and private. There is a great selection of books, and yes, a HEATED FLOOR (we were very excited about this). We only had a bit of trouble with the doorknob sticking as we tried to get out, but the issue usually resolved itself after a few tries. Overall, this stay has great value!
