While I didn't get to meet Helen (she was out of town during my stay), I thoroughly enjoyed my time at her place. Helen was excellent with communication and flawlessly coordinated a neighbor to check me in and give me the tour. The space is adorned with such unique touches and definitely feels like home. My room was spacious and I quite enjoyed the neighborhood. I do wish Helen had given me a heads up that the space would be shared with her roommate and another guest (he was already checked in). This wouldn't have changed my mind about booking her place but would have allowed me to align my expectations of my stay.
