I greatly appreciate that Stephanie was very accommodating of the tight schedule I was on and was ready for me when I arrived. She was very responsive to all communications. While the description tells you that the house is similar to a hostel, guests may want to be aware before booking that there is at least one regular who rents a couch in a common area overnight. This did not cause any problems for me, though. There also seemed to be an odor of smoke that lingered around the front of the house. Otherwise, I wasn't really at the house long enough to be able to evaluate it. It worked perfectly fine as a place to sleep.
