This location was safe and perfect for my work trip, next to the 1 line. The bedroom and closet were spacious. I had a hard time sleeping on the waterbed, but there was a convertible chair that ended up being perfect for me. I was able to come and go at all hours, which was perfect for my workdays. Though the bathroom was shared, it was always available when I needed to shower.
I was able to drop my luggage off at 9am the morning I arrived until the room was ready later that afternoon, which was highly appreciated.
The issues I ran into weren't completely the host's fault but I want to be transparent for future travelers. There was a gnat issue in the bathroom. Some days there were 7-8 gnats and other days it was only 2. Even though they were harmless it isn't very fun to shoo gnats away from you in the shower.
The floor in the room was also sticky and dusty until a cleaner came at the end of the week.
The heat in the building was out the first couple of days but the host provided a space heater.
The last two days, the light in the bedroom stopped working. This was the only issue the host didn't respond to when I raised concerns.
The washer and dryer in the basement were out of order the day I tried to do laundry. Thankfully, there is a decent laundromat about 2 blocks away called The Wash.
The convenience above all would have me stay here again; though I wouldn't rate it high in the cleanliness category.
