We used Anthony's place for a rock climbing trip. 3 guys going back and forth from the crag now and then. Anthony's place worked great for what we needed, which was specifically a safe place for our gear, a place to cook and shower, and a place to sleep. Don't let the whole "shared kitchen" part deter you, if you are looking for privacy. Anthony is super chill and seems fine either chatting with you or leaving you to your thoughts. Honestly 99% of the time it felt like the whole house was ours because Anthony is so busy. He will help you out with nightlife if you want that and was really responsive to questions. Also the area looks safe. Less a critque and more a consideration, there is a dog there who is very friendly that comes and goes downstairs. He also barks at stuff now and then. If you don't like dogs then maybe not for you. Didn't bother us. Also the beds are made of a firm temperpeodic foam. I found it quite comfortable but again some people have preferences. I will definately stay at Anthony's again for my next trip!
