The room was small but comfortable. The shared bathroom was also tiny, but having a sink in the bedroom meant no waiting for the bath. You can't beat the location, right in the center of town, though still quiet. Owner was pleasant and available.
Anybody who has difficulty with a steep staircase should be sure to book one of the downstairs rooms. I had no problem, though.
I booked online about a month in advance. A couple days before my stay I got an email from the owner confirming my stay and asking when and how I was arriving. When I answered, he gave me walking directions from the ferry (very easy -- it's just around the corner). I had some trouble finding the alley that led to the house at first, but eventually spotted the sign. Hotel Employee had left keys and a note with his cell phone. We didn't see him until the next day, when we paid. There was free Wi-Fi, always nice. There was a fridge in the room, and a TV (with DVD movies available downstairs) neither of which I used. They also had bikes available to borrow. The area in Ptown most people would visit is pretty small anyway, but this was right in the heart of things, so popping back to the room to pick up a sweatshirt or drop off a purchase was very convenient. The owner said there was a private outdoor shower which was better than the one in the shared upstairs bathroom, but I was content with the one we had. I sort of wish I had stayed longer to take full advantage of all that was available.
