Hosts made us feel very welcome. Tara shared with us her organic homemade bread (it was good!), washed our laundry, and let me borrow her house slippers. Michael (as many have mentioned) shares local events. Private room is as described and looks better than pictured (those pics are older?). Private bathroom is exactly as listed. Location was convenient for us because we had a rental car, but not in a hot area. We found this a positive since it was easy to sleep and street park. One of the best things about the house is getting a taste of the hosts’ green lifestyle, including of the filtered water throughout. Water from bathroom sink was delicious. We brought a reusable bottle and filled up every day. Would stay again when I’m Venice!
