Esther is a great host. Aside from having to share the common areas living, dining and kitchen with separate private rooms with baths, it was great. No problems with finding locks, Esther makes it a point to meet with her guests and show them around. Her inhouse amenities were great. You don't have to worry if you forgot your toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. She even provided us with water, eggs, coffee, toaster, Keurig and an electric hot water pot. Her beds were really comfy with extra comfy pillows. It is a comfy home atmosphere, it felt just like home.
