Zoe's place is great for the following reasons: the kitchen could make a top chef contender feel at home. Her mom was home-ec teacher, and for those of you who are too young to know what that means, it means cookery, crockery, candy thermometers, boiling vats, serially organized tupperware, lessons on the difference between broiling and baking, and the full use of the above. Clean, quiet, soundproof room - overall a good temporary home with a caring and warm hostess.
