Gary was a great host and he lives there so it was really easy to coordinate with him. I enjoyed the fact that there were other travelers staying there as I got to meet some interesting people during my stay. The backyard is a nice place to chill and have a beer at the end of the day too.
The location is a little inconvenient as its a 10 minute walk to the subway and a 15 minute walk to the nearest bike share dock. As long as you don't mind walking it's fine though.
