My husband and I were there for our house-search trip for three nights. Julie's family, including her little boy, partner and dog, were very welcoming. She was very communicative and the family is lovely. The common area and bed room were nice, lots of space and well maintained. The bed in our room was a little uncomfortable because the middle part of bed was sinking, but overall it was fine. The space description was a little different from the information we were given on the web during our stay (between July 9 - July 11) since the house was under construction/renovation. Our main issue was access to the bathroom, with only one full bathroom and then a half bathroom to share with the family and another guest. In a situation where folks are considerate, that can work just fine. But we ended up with someone who was in there for a long, long time; normally we would not care but that particular morning we had an appointment we had to get to and, well, it was inconvenient. I was probably unlucky for needing to wait that morning, but be aware that if the house is under construction the situation will be a little different than described. We also did not get the sense that the place was dedicated to travelers and students, but maybe that was just based on who was there when we were visiting. If you want to stay with the host, I would recommend to find out from Julie whether they have other guest(s), how many bathrooms are available, whether there is construction, etc. Overall, it was ok to stay but we were a little disappointed that the description did not match our experience. That being said, Julie and her family are lovely and welcoming, and if the other guests are mindful of their co-inhabitants, it could be great.
