The host was responsive from when we booked it up to immediately after our arrival and check-in. We didn't need further correspondence because all the necessary information was provided in the app.
We stayed in late November, so the weather was frigid, but no snow.
It's located across the street from a police precinct, providing peace of mind. Street parking was limited but close and available for free. A bus stop was right outside the main entrance to the building.
You should expect some noise from the in-room heater/AC unit (if you use it) and street traffic, including buses, police sirens, passing ambulances, etc.
The room matched the photo identically, was cozy, and included a closet, multiple towels, and a heater/AC unit that was already set to a comfortable temperature when we checked in. We LOVED that its door could be secured with its lock and code. The floor was a little dirty.
Either there was no ventilation in the bathroom, or it wasn't working during our stay.
