I spent 4 weeks staying with Isabel while working full-time, and can both: confirm the highly positive reviews of hundreds of others (a hospitable, dear and engaging host); and go further, in saying that Isabel quick transformed from 'host' into a friend. We regularly shared conversation and food, and she encouraged sharing the common space, including the piano and the guitar. I was quickly taken in as a member of the household. And if you have the opportunity to stay more than a few nights, I'd highly encourage you to.
