This space is ace for location -- very walkable to coffee shops, bars, bookstores, diners and public transportation. We felt safe and comfortable and the dogs are so sweet. We usually spring for a whole residence instead of a private room, but we felt it was fairly private here and spacious enough. We didn't spend any time in the common areas, though they are cute and well-kept; staying out of the host's way seemed like the most comfortable situation. The room and house were very clean and the water pressure in the shower is great! Great space for an individual or low-key couple.
