Anne was a very helpful host and a very nice person to get to know. I liked the fact that there was an extra bed, which was quite comfortable in itself. We borrowed Anne's bikes and had a nice time tooling around the city. The house and area around it are funkier than the pictures showed, but everything was orderly and clean and it was warm enough to sit outside on Anne's patio and chat with her about how and where we should spend our time in the city.
