The host
We had a great night here. Angelo was very patient after we arrived nearly 2 hours late and had no method of contacting him. When we arrived (finally) he was still very positive and friendly towards us - and even proceeded to offer us some drinks and some food. Very nice touch.
The area
The area is a great area, about 5 minutes from the station, with a pleasant walk through a lively (yet quiet enough) area with restaurants, cafes, bars etc.
It is extremely safe, well-lit and its residents extremely friendly.
The room
The room is big with some storage options, it is well-aired, with a fan and windows that can be opened (with insect screens) for further ventilation. The bed is very comfortable and the pillows were perfect for us. Bathroom with shower (and warm water) were fine.
We didn't use the common area or the kitchen (we weren't sure if we could?)
Final note: I'm not a big fan of being charged extra for guests - something to be aware of if you aren't travelling solo.
