We felt like home at Alison and Russell's place. They have a beatiful home in a quiet neighborhood, with a parking space. The room is spacious, with kitchen commodities and a huge bathroom. Everything was clean and communication was great, even if we had few interactions with our hosts. Public transit to downtown is more like 45-50 min than 20-25. We ended up taking our car, 20 min to downtown with 7$ parking downtown on weekend. Great stay!
