Lionel is an excellent host, seriously above and beyond, and the room is lovely. I really enjoyed the neighbourhood but it can be a bit dodgy at times.
NB, If you book be prepared not to have a usable kitchen. The kitchen is so dirty (deep old dirt) that it would be a health hazard to actually cook there. Also be prepared for roommates drumming at 10pm, using your toilet paper and in my experience open nudity on the couch.
