Close to subway and a lively section of Roosevelt Avenue with lots of shops and restaurants etc., but located on a quiet side street so no noise affecting sleep. Basement room was exactly as advertised, be careful with the low ceilings especially if you are above 5'10". Comfortable, large bed. Sofa bed was ok, we slept on top of the quilt to make it more comfortable and it was fine. We stayed during December during a period of exceptionally cold weather, but we stayed really warm due to the boiler pipes running through the room. There was some noise from the pipes but it didn't personally affect my sleep and earplugs were provided by the host. Nice coffee machine and refreshments provided, ie water cooler. TV worked well enough for our needs. Shared bathroom was fine, shared with one other basement room so potentially up to 6 people in total. Nestor was very friendly.
