Brian is a welcoming, friendly and helpful host; cozy room with private bathroom was exactly as described: very comfortable and clean, and the whole house has good energy. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for your stay! Bus station is 2 mins away, and the bus line 88 takes you directly to the city center; taxi to/from the center is affordable too (ca. $ 10-12). I was warned about the neighborhood as somewhat problematic, but I wish to emphasize that I had not felt unsafe at any time! Enjoy your stay!!
