I stayed at Kirstin's for about 6 weeks in February and March. Kirstin was welcoming and extremely considerate. The location was decent. I was on foot the whole time, and walked to the University every day (about 30min), to the grocery store (about 10min), yoga studio, cafes, etc. It's a reasonably safe neighborhood, right by the river with nice bike and running paths.
The room looks exactly as in the pictures. The bed was very comfortable, the room had a good amount of closet and storage space, with a small set of drawers. The rest of the house was nice, and had pretty much anything you would need. The house is a bit loud (creaky), so any movement about the house can be heard. Kirstin and I had similar schedules so this wasn't a problem.
One thing to note is that there is a dog and two cats (all very sweet and not too bothersome). So this is great if you're an animal lover, but if you have severe allergies you might be in trouble with all the pet hair.
Overall I had a great time staying at Kirstin's, and would strongly recommend staying here.
