Matthew was very kind. He even offered to come pick me up from the bus so that I wouldn't get lost on the way to the house!! He was very helpful with everything that concerned transportation, places to eat and biking in the city. I appreciated the fact that he was reserved and super flexible with checking in/out. The room is actually nicer than the pictures and very quite for it's location. The bathroom was also clean. I was kind of surprised that the other room was rented as I thought that was were Matthew slept, but everything was okay at the end. I would say the only downside is the distance to the subway, it's kind of a walk. Aside from this, apt. is in a safe and great part of the city to be in and there is a great host.
