Sandra is an extremely gracious host and takes extra care to make you feel welcome. The basket of things available 'just in case', the water bottle and chocolate bar on arrival, and offers to do laundry for me are just a few examples of this. I was even more impressed that Sandra lent me her old beat up bike for a few days until my TTC pass came into effect.
The room itself is cozy, but has lots of places to tuck away your things so you don't feel crowded. The bed is comfortable, and the air conditioning and fan meant I could weather the heat in comfort.
In terms of shared space, the kitchen is available and easy to use and I was provided my own space to keep things. The bathrooms are clean and up to date. I spent most of the rest of my time in my room or out of the house so as not to intrude on family.
Sandra and her son are very friendly, helpful, and outgoing. I very much enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it to other travellers coming for work or pleasure.
