Dean is a very good host. Always available to answer questions and very responsive. I will try to make this review very descriptive since the other reviews do not seem to have a lot of detail. The room is nice and clean. The blankets and towels were also clean. Keep in mind that the place is at the edge of the Pearl District. It is not quite the prime location that comes to mind when one thinks of the Pearl District however it is still close to many spots one way want to visit. The building is very old. The interiors of the room and common areas can feel similar to that of a house from 1980. The private television in the room is nice to have. There is just 1 lamp in the room and so lighting can be a little inadequate if you plan to work. There can occasionally be noise at night from the train or traffic. It is not bad unless you are a sensitive sleeper. The pricing might not make it good value for money as I would expect a newer building in a nicer part of the Pearl District for around $65 per night.
