My friend and I stayed in the attic room which was exactly as described. I wish I had paid better attention to the previous reviews about the bathroom because there were many people sharing one, which is not something that I like to do. Nevertheless, it worked out well enough. The attic room is spacious, no frills and inexpensive. The steps are steep but didn't pose a problem for us.

Hermina was entertaining friends from Armenia when we visited. Her attention was focused on them, understandably. We did not have much of an opportunity to speak with her because we didn't feel as though we should interrupt their visit. Hermina was friendly and we enjoyed the limited interaction that we had with her, but the situation didn't allow for what I have come to consider a 'typical' Airbnb experience. We felt intrusive whenever we came into the kitchen/dining room area while her friends were around. It would probably have been better to make the attic room unavailable during their stay.

We did find a wonderful new coffee shop that was located a couple of blocks away. It is called Home.stead Bakery and Cafe. I recommend it highly. The neighborhood is gentrifying and mixed. As two women, we felt safe enough while walking around the area.

In general, it was a very affordable, clean and reasonably comfortable space. I did not see a fire escape from the attic room which was a bit concerning. And we were not offered a key to lock our room but to be fair, we never asked for one. It was fine, our things were safe and so were we. If you are looking for an inexpensive stay in the area and not particular about any of the details I've mentioned, it is a fine place to stay.
