The room and private bath at Fred's place was just like the photos. It was a plus to have so much space, and the ceiling fan was nice if you didn't want the colder air from the air conditioner. Fred was polite, professional and helpful in giving directions to the light rail train, which was a10-15 min. walk through the lovely historic neighbourhood of Forest Hill. The fresh raspberries were a nice treat upon my arrival. I didn't see much of Fred aside from a quick hi at breakfast as he was usually busy with work. He was kind enough to substitute herbal tea in lieu of coffee. Overall, I would recommend staying here. The commute to NY is slightly longer (by light rail, then commuter trains), but the house is a nice retreat from the busy city.
