Erik's place is about a 10-15 minute walk to the orange line. For the value, I would say that this was a great find! You do share a bathroom with other guests but we did not have any issues. The room and bathroom were both spotless and we had everything we needed. While Erik was not in town, his mom made sure we were taken care of and he even checked in with us a few times. His dogs are adorable and they make some noise whenever you get home and a little in the morning but it did not bother us. Would definitely stay again!
