The house has been recently remodeled and is kept clean. The common living areas are very spacious but rarely used. The two people who live here full time stay in their rooms, more like a hotel or boarding house. In fact, I didn't meet anyone until I was leaving (the system is set up so that you can get and return your own keys and are not reliant on an in-person host). It's only 1.5 miles from Salem Hospital so the location was ideal for me, and it's bike-able.
