I appreciated being able to stay near where I needed to be, and found Chris to be well-organized, neat, and generous in providing the largest room in his place for guests to stay. He provided a lot of written information for guests, and was open to allowing use of the kitchen. Chris was proactive in offering an iron and ironing board, and experienced in hosting people from different time zones. I appreciated that he checked about coordinating when I expected to be up in case I needed to be somewhere at a particular time. He answered questions about neighborhood resources or transportation when asked. Despite a heat spell, I was able to sleep well in the loft bed, and appreciated that it had a shelf where I could keep my phone to check time in the morning. On arrival, I was a little daunted about bringing my bags up to the fifth floor, but neither the building access nor the neighborhood environment seemed challenging. To reach the guest room, you pass through a sitting area where his sleeping space is walled off by a ceiling-high partition. The lodging is presented as a share, and the written materials do encourage guests to lend a hand by watering plants in their room and stripping the bed upon departure. On the first day, I was a little distracted and accidentally forgot to wash up my coffee-making equipment, but texted him an apology, and when I mentioned it later, he responded graciously.
