Lou came to meet me at the bus stop late and night and made me some food when I first arrived which was really lovely of her. She is so easy to chat to and a really insightful and interesting person, she will also give you plenty of privacy. It's a very laid back place and it just feel like we were roomies! The neighbourhood is also great, not very gentrified and people are really friendly. It's close to the subway, and the metro is about a 15 min walk away. There is one cafe on the way to the metro with good coffee called Dean St Cafe. It's a little tricky to get around if you are heading out to see music and things which I was doing (changing trains etc), but once you do it a few times it becomes easier. The room is really big, a little hot but the big box fan definitely helps. There is also no wifi but if you have plenty of phone data you should be fine. Lou is a wonderful host, stay with her!
