The benefits of this place are its excellent city location and low price. Additional benefits are that it felt safe and was surprisingly quite. The in-unit washing machine was great to have. The host Phillip was also very helpful, responsive and accommodating.
The trade offs are worth noting however as there are no free rides. The unit is very old and worn down. Windows no longer close completely and inside was always VERY damp and musty. Condensation would quickly form on every surface if the included dehumidifier was not used constantly. The shower was nice and hot but it was a wet-bathroom so expect there to be water on and around the toilet after every shower.
