Haiyan was a wonderful host - responsive, kind, and a joy to connect with over conversation! He even took the time to take a walk and show me around the neighborhood. I found the room to be clean, and the bed was quite comfortable. Overall, it's a bit like staying in a hostel in the sense of being no frills but comfortable and communal-like (Haiyan even invited me to have dinner with him and his parents). The location is a short walk to the Streetcar and a 12 minute walk to the shops, restaurants, etc of Magazine Street. I was grateful to have use of a women's cruiser bike with u-lock, which made for exploring the area more enjoyable. Thank you Haiyan for such a pleasant experience - I hope to connect again in the future!
