While I never actually met Vic, I felt very welcome and he was very responsive to email and text messages. When one of the other guests checked out with my cell phone charger, Vic contacted the guest and I was able to meet up with the guest and recover it.

The neighborhood is great. It is walking distance to loads of cool places and a short drive to many others. It is also convenient for public transport.

I seriously doubt you will ever see the house as clean and uncluttered as the photos. I believe there are 16 or 18 beds in the main house and 2 bathrooms. With that many people, it is almost always pretty chaotic, but in a fun way.

An interesting cast of characters and good energy abound. There is even a makeshift office area in the carriage house where you can get some work done. Internet is solid.
