This is a private room in a home, where there are several other rooms for guests as well. So in the shared spaces, like the kitchen and dining room, you get to meet other friendly, interesting travelers. I appreciated being able to use the kitchen freely. Everything is sparkling clean!! Pamela was away while I stayed there, but her mother arranged check-in which was so easy and flexible, and her mother is the kindest person! I so enjoyed getting to meet and talk with her! The home has a very friendly atmosphere and I had a great stay.
