I lived in this house for almost two months so will try to describe my experience in perspective of a more longe-term stay. Mario is very friendly and responsive of my any questions or issues. The surrounding area is fine and quiet in the morning; neighborhood is very nice, but walking alone at night is still not 100% safe. It's a very convenient place, close to supermarket/food court/bus station. There are a few good restaurants (fast food, vegans, etc.) I do much enjoy and they all serve very good food. The overall experience is good, but with a few issues that might need to be aware of (These may not be issues at all if you stay here just for couple of days, and the price is quite affordable for the trip so jut pros and cons.). First is the humidity (it gets better with a dehumidifier); the basement is humid and slippery so sometimes have to make sure your clothes do not mold and your room do not grow bugs and flies (they clean the room very nicely and tidily when you move it, but it gets humid as you stay longer). You have to clean the kitchen everyday after meal and make sure no trashes stays overnight, which may attract flies. Second is the lightning, the room is dark, which is okay if you are not staying here with a need to work, but it will become an issue if you want to read books or write. Third is the ceiling: it has a very low ceiling so probably have to be careful of jumping or stretching activities. Again, the host is very friendly and they act quickly if you report any problem, and it should be a nice place to stay if you don't mind the lightning or humidity of the room.
