This room was wonderful and allowed me access to the city (since it was close to the T). Nanette and Thurman were very nice and helpful when I needed food suggestions or advice on how to get around. They allow their guests to use their fridge/kitchen. I had a private bathroom attached to my room--with toilet--but the shower was in a different room and was shared. This was never a problem, however. The house is fairly old so you can hear everyone's footsteps. If you like to go to bed really early and need quiet, keep this in mind. Overall though, wonderful room and great hosts!
