This was a comfortable place in a great location, but it should be understood that it's a shared space. You will share a living room and a kitchen with several other people. It didn't feel like an "entire house". Even though Seith is honest about this in the description of the space, it wasn't obvious what the set-up is. I've never seen an apartment like this, but I guess it's more common in NY than in Texas. Other than being a shared space, the rooms were fine...clean and they didn't have a lot of personal items. We never met or interacted with the host, which was fine. He left the key in a lock box and we didn't have any problems or reason to contact him, but I'm sure he would have been available to us.
