Brady’s place was great!!
For starters, it’s decorated pretty eccentrically; It was actually the reason I picked it in the first place. It’s a really unique space that kind of yells “home.”
The location is very close (only a few minutes walk) to the train platform, easy to navigate to and from, and the house itself stands out enough that you really can’t miss it. Especially at night- it’s the only one on the street that’s lit up! My room was on the third floor, so we used the second floor common space. There’s a kitchen (the green one pictured), a bathroom (the larger of the two), and an open dining and sitting area. The kitchen had oatmeal, breakfast bars, tea, coffee, and water- all free for guests. There was also a large fridge for guests to use if they needed it. The bathrooms were both clean, the bedroom itself was clean, and from what I could see, all of the common spaces were very clean. There’s also a “mini kitchen” (a sink, counter, and a few cabinets) outside of the third floor half bath.
I never had any interaction with the owner, but he was kind over DMs. The other guests, however, we encountered multiple times, and they were all super friendly. We spoke with one of them for at least an hour, relaxing in the living room like old friends.. It was nice.
Overall, the vibe was that of a really nice hostel or hotel, without all of the fuss- and with a private room. It was great, and I’d definitely stay again :)
