This space was often exactly what I needed after a day in Montreal that included visiting a sick relative - I would come home to a cosy space where I could curl up to watch some netflix, cook a meal, or unwind with a bath.
The one issue was that at times it seemed *too* homey - someone else's knick knacks still on the tv stand, someone else's stationery items on the desk, a varied supply of toiletries. These would be easy things to put away or clean up, and the host (or a more daring guest) could certainly manage them easily.
