There is a friendly cat
Gen is friendly, she always had cookies and apples out, she had us as guests for Thanksgiving dinner.
we were there 51 nights
She works from home and does not want guests in the home or using the internet during the weekdays, thankfully there is a nice Library about 25 minutes away walking (not good for cold season), there are also quite a few random rules to follow.
Grocery Store nearby
close to bus stop
laundry- keep it on the settings she has it on, only do half load at a time.
Kitchen - great kitchen upstairs with fridge, oven, and dishwasher...she wanted to only run the dishwasher once a week on a specific day, but with 5 people in the house it needed to be ran more. Take turns cooking
The basement has a mini fridge and big (shared freezer)
there are 3 rental rooms in the house, the basement is the one with the private bathroom, the toilet is tricky to flush (hold down until done)...may need to flush twice.
She sometimes has students stay with her: which was great for us to have company
We had to clean the basement and bathroom when we came and left, I think she had decided then to move us from upstairs to the basement so had not cleaned, but she had 2 other people moving in as well so not sure why it wasn't clean..the 2 upstairs rooms were clean. I was still happy to be in the basement for privacy. We bought a small dehumidifier.
If you are staying for a while you will get to know the rules, and flow of the house, make an effort to get to know Gen, If you are staying a short time enjoy your stay.
