Sidney was friendly and the neighborhood was really good. Just a couple minutes' walk from the subway, near some good restaurants and bars, and close enough to the subway that you're close to anything really. The home had the feel of a home, with family photos and comfortable common spaces. The shower was a bit wonky, but perfectly workable. I have longo hair, so I'm used to drains clogging a bit, but it started to happen pretty quickly when I took a shower. The space was nice enough, though, and Sidney made sure to provide an extra blanket and a space heater, just in time for a storm to hit. When I asked Sidney about places in the area to go for live music, he helped me by getting another boarder who does jazz guitar to come tell me about his experience in the area, and that worked out very well for me.
