Gene is a great host; her house is on a very nice neighborhood street, which I really enjoyed for the trade off a more relaxed vs urban feel. She was easy to communicate with, and answered quickly when I had questions. I appreciated being able to check in a little early, and her tips for the local transit.
The room is perfect for a solo traveler, as advertised, small but very clean. There are other houseguests but I never had any conflicts with the shared bathroom.
I felt very safe and relaxed here on my first AirBnB experience, thank you Gene!
