David is a thoughtful, warm, and friendly host, possessing the kind of traits one might look for in a potential friend. Seriously, he's that nice. But don't worry, he's not trying to make BFFs; he's quiet but attentive, and not in any way obtrusive. Now I know why others have rated his place so highly.
The room is spacious for a bedroom, and very clean. There isn't much else in the room (a small chair and desk would be welcome), but everything's in excellent shape and is comfortable. The bedding was freshly laundered and smelled nice, and not overly flowery (it's very mild and pleasant). The bathroom is very clean and well kept, nicer by far than those in most motel rooms, with fresh, spotless, and even neatly folded bath and hand towels.
As you enter the home the bedroom and bathroom are on the lower level just before the stairs which head up to the living room and kitchen (it's around the corner and up another set of stairs to David's private quarters). This means you can come and go at any hours without disturbing anyone. David invites you to share the common space, and you have use of the kitchen if you prefer to cook (there's a private mini fridge in your bedroom).
One note for those that place a premium on privacy: there is no lock on your bedroom door (though the bathroom door, immediately outside your room, locks). However, I do believe that after meeting David, any concerns this might ordinarily raise will either disappear altogether, or at least diminish enough to put you at ease. Plus, after meeting his significant other (briefly), it's really appears that this is just one happy family. While I travelled solo this time, I would feel fine staying here with my wife — or even having my wife stay here alone. Bottom line on this note: I'd rather stay at David's friendly place without a locked room than at some cheap and creepy motel with locks.
Overall, if you're looking for a clean, friendly, easy, and inexpensive place to hang your hat for a while, you really couldn't do much better. Fully 5 stars!
