Lixia is a great host. She communicated very clearly regarding how to check-in. The room was clean, simple, and adequate. I was given a key to the room as well - so I was able to lock it up and go away for hours with complete confidence that my things were safe. When I first checked in, the room had 2 bottles of water, some chips, and snacks - this was really nice of her, I felt welcome. The room is in the second floor and it was quiet at night during my stay. The room had air conditioning, a nice bed, a mirror, a side table, a cabinet, table and chair - perfect for short stays. I took an Uber to MIT campus (cost about $11 per trip). It's a nice quiet residential neighborhood and I felt safe.
