Definitely private, quiet and clean. The house feels good to be in. The bedrooms are upstairs with a door at the bottom of the staircase which ensures privacy. Both rooms are large. One bedroom has a very comfortable bed. The other gets a lot of freeway noise and the futon on the floor is hard. Having the fan on helped mask the noise. The one bathroom is downstairs next to the owner's bedroom, which felt a little awkward, but worked out okay since our schedules were very different. The neighborhood was interesting and felt safe. The house is close to public transportation so getting around is easy.
