Evan and his mother were wonderful hosts, although I did not get the chance to interact much with them due to working all the time. It is an easy bus ride on the 14 or 15 downtown. Lots of restaurants and such on Hawthorne St just a very short walk away. The room was nice. Appreciated the window AC unit for the evenings. Only downside was shared bathroom and even that was not really a down as there was never a conflict over it and it was absolutely spotless.
