Had a great experience staying for a week here. Alison is a kind, soft spoken women with a dry sense of humor. She has interesting things to talk about and truely seems to like hosting in her home. The private room and entryway make it seem like you are staying in your own apartment. Yes the shower is amazing and the hot water never ends. The upstairs has a very large eat in kitchen. I did make mostly dinners here. There was a problem with the heater not working when I arrived and the house was very cold. Alison immediately called to get it fixed, gave me a nice space heater, warm blankets, and even a hot water bottle. Problem sorted so fast!! Location is great for the bus/train connections. You can be as social as you want to be. A couple of nights we talked over a glass of wine. You wont be sorry for reserving here.
