It was great for the price! John was very approachable and responsive. He prepared everything for us including new linens and notes. The house is very near to the subway, which was a plus. You can cook and save a lot of money!
Just had some issues. One is that the thermostat max capability was around 60 F when we were here, so if you are not used to that temperature, you would find the house a bit cold. Another is the room might be a bit small for two if you both are overweight. Aside from that, as John said, the housemates just kept to themselves and rarely talked to us. But I am not really sure whether they liked us staying or not. One wrote a bit hostile reminders with capital letters on the white board. Another vomited all over the toilet and left it like that for the whole day. However, it was New Year Eve so we tried to put it into context.
In all, the room was inexpensive and acceptable to us. Things happened just like anywhere and we wouldn't mind living in the place if we visit again!
