Eric's place is great! Neighborhood is super friendly and safe. Fairly residential but some some good cafes down the street, and buses over to greenwood (45) and downtown (18x, 40) nearby. Having a car would be convenient, but is by no means required.
It's a little spartan in the kitchen (one electric burner, mini-oven), but all the equipment is high quality and works really well. Shower has good pressure and lots of hot water. We had plenty of home cooked meals, including some using the BBQ grill and outdoor table, that were great.
The beds are super comfortable, and it's nice to have a room upstairs that is a little removed from the downstairs noises. be aware that there is no closed space in the main basement area other than the bathroom, so privacy is limited--best perhaps for a family with kids, or one couple.
Eric is a model host--super communicative, thoughtful about the details of the set up, and helpful if anything comes up.
