This place got the job done - it wasn’t super fancy but the bed was comfortable and he was very thoughtful in what he makes available to guests. While there is a private entrance to this place, there is a door leading to the upstairs of his house from the basement which is where you stay. Obviously there was no issue, but had i known I may not have booked as it’s not my preference to have that “open door” if you will. Our privacy was definitely maintained and he communicated everything thoroughly otherwise. He gave some very helpful tips on traveling to New York as that was the reason for our stay. I think the neighborhood was relatively safe minus a few strange characters we came across on our walk back from public transit at night. Overall it was a good experience
