Ruth lives in a very small and cozy neighborhood in a location that gives you the best of both worlds. Her house is a 2 min walk to a small super market and a great restaurant/ bar (The Helm) that has live music on the weekends. The town area is a 15 minute walk from her house (which is enjoyable because you can see more of the cute neighborhood and mountain view). Ruth went out of her way to pick me and my friend up at the bus stop and show us around town before getting us settled into her house. She had coffee/tea and a great assortment of breakfast/ snack options available for us. The house was a little chilly but she has two fire places that made it very cozy. Ruth allowed us to stay past check-out on the last day because we had a late train back. She was very accommodating and did not need to do this. She also drove us into town with our bags when we were heading out. I highly recommend staying with Ruth.
