Although we did not have opportunity to meet Darlene, she was in frequent contact with us, ensuring that all was okay with our stay. There was a loaf of bread and litre of milk in the refrigerator for us, along with a plethora of other used jams, preserves and condiments which was welcoming. However, we found the space somewhat oppressive - it is in a basement so circulation of air was stifling. I was unable to find a fan and although it was listed in the ad, "air conditioning" in bedroom #1 was inadequate. Our bedroom window was painted shut, so we could not open it. Bedroom #2 was not "made up" so we assumed we were not to be using it . Given it is a basement, there was a discriminate "stuffy" smell that may bother folks with allergies. There was (but) one exit/egress which may be considered contrary to fire regulations. The kitchen had a power bar that was located on the counter right behind the kitchen taps, which we thought was dangerous.
When booking, we made our decision based on some amazing reviews. If you are staying for any length of time, be prepared to eat in a small kitchen space and to watch television in bed, as there is no sitting area. In retrospect, I was glad we were only staying for the one night.
