Sandy takes great care of her guests with robust communication, detailed maps and notes of the neighborhood, and all the nice "little" touches, like a glass of water when you arrive, and naturally scented toiletries in the bathroom. She's put a lot of work into her three-storey Victorian row house, creating a lovely blend of the antique (brass "bath" sign) and the modern ("rain" shower, Viking stove). I picked her place mainly on price and general proximity to the city center, but was very pleasantly surprised at how interesting the surrounding neighborhood is--full of eclectic shops, inventive restaurants, and charming Victorian buildings. We actually found ourselves coming back early from downtown to make sure we didn't miss out on attractions in Sandy's neighborhood.
