Chris was very responsive and friendly. Given that we were staying in his home, we really appreciated his generosity and trust in us. The apartment is quite comfortable, including the bed, with a washer/dryer, and kitchen area. It was great to have the kitchen and be able to use some of Chris's staples. We didn't use the patio because we were out and about a lot. It might feel a little odd to some people to stay in another person's home/apartment, but because of our good communication w/ Chris, it felt fine. It wasn't as clean as one would expect in a hotel - Chris had cleaned it but missed a spot or two which we could live with. He had also made space for our stuff. We like the RedFern neighborhood, which is lively and close to busses and trains. All in all, we felt we got very good value, and would happily stay there again.
