Robert was a great host. He responded almost instantly to emails, he was knowledgeable and helpful about how to make use of the area, and freely shared coffee and books. Plus he has a good sense of humor and enjoys conversation. He even offered us the car which had been parked outside his front door for three months, and had it not obviously had a corpse in the back we probably would have taken him up on it. Just kidding. Go there. The price is right, and if you can live with sharing a bath, it's great.
