Andy is an extremely nice, helpful, and generous host. He could not have been any more gracious upon our arrival, taking all the time we needed to orient us to the neighborhood. He made great food and shopping recommendations. The neighborhood is very quiet and pretty. It's definitely not walkable to downtown, but there are several neighborhood places worth checking out (Pallete Coffee, Dosa Factory, Savon supermarket). If the sofa were replaced, and some of the walls that are in the bathrooms were patched and painted, that would make a big difference. The living room really isn't that usable at the moment -- it's not very comfortable, unfortunately. I understand that with a lot of use the sofa may get worn, but I would have loved a nicer living room experience. At the moment the sofas are covered with heavy duty furniture pads. I was hoping the bathrooms would have a stand alone shower, but I'm a snob, so take it with a grain of salt.
