This is a very interesting setup that I think offers a pretty good deal. You pay a relatively low rate but instead of a hostel bed with no privacy, you get your own (small) space. It does feel pretty cozy, nice, and private to have that space to myself. It's also nicely appointed with a minifridge, microwave, and coffee maker so I felt pretty self-sufficient in there. I'm not as thrilled about the bathroom setup - the shower, sink, and toilet are all very small, and the toilet is a portable setup that's not very comfortable to use. Still, I think it's worth all the benefits that come with this rental.
I also really like the location. It's walking distance to the very vital Route 1 bus that can take you to Downtown (or 481 if you're going late at night as I did) and close to US 183 and I-35. Also the neighborhood is nice and quiet.
Nate was a great host! He was super friendly and nice, and very communicative. I would love it if every host was like him!
