We had a pleasant stay. We did not meet the hosts, but the communication prior the arrival was perfect. The place is run like a Hostel/B&B style. You share the house with other guests. It is as describe, so no surprises, and the place is clean. The neighbourghood has nothing special, residencial, it is rather an up and coming area, with a subway stop 2 blocks away. It is a perfect place to crash after a long day strolling the city.
