This was one of my best airbnb experiences yet, and I have been using airbnb for years. Angela's place is not fancy, but it is extremely comfortable and cozy. My room and bathroom were at the end of a hallway and were very private. The house has tons of personality and is spotlessly clean and neat. Angela has thought of everything! Anything one might need such as scissors, tooth brush, nail file, etc. etc., are within reach. She even left a delicious LARGE chocolate bar on the dresser! Danny, Angela's house mate, was extremely helpful and kind. He offered me food, the use of the washer/dryer, and good company! Additionally, Angela communicated promptly and clearly. The neighborhood is wonderful and within walking distance to most everything. There are quite a few coffee hang outs and great restaurants within blocks. There is a fabulous Italian bakery a couple of blocks away, which was reminiscent of my travels in Italy. In terms of the construction, the noise did not bother me. I put in earplugs around 5 AM so that I would not be awakened at 7 AM when they began work. I suppose if I had stayed in my room all day it might have bothered me, but I was out and about during the day. Thus, it was not an issue for me at all. I would not hesitate to stay at Angela's home again in the future.
