Our visit to Roots turned out very well. Farhad was at a reggae concert out of town so we didn't get to meet him. We had 7 people, from mid-teen to adult, and it was great to find a place where we could all fit and hang out, and a good value for us. Neat neighborhood with a lot going on. Well-stocked kitchen. A little sketchy in some regards, and not cleaned to the level of some places but everybody in our group was quite happy with it and slept well. Nice new washer & dryer. We were there mostly over a weekend, and parking is generally fine from Friday afternoon on, although one of our people didn't move her car for a couple of days and got a ticket. Probably not that great for little kids, but we would definitely stay there again with a similar group.
