Fred is a lovely host, very responsive and genuinely interested to make his guests feel comfortable. The area is not flash but safe, with lots of stores and the motorway close by. The house is one of the last properties in a dead-end, hence blissfully quiet with no through-traffic. It is a quirky older house, the two bedrooms are good-sized, the kitchen/living/dining area is really compact and when the trundler in the office is pulled out there is no space to open a bag or suitcase. Worked fine for us as a family with two teenagers; for a larger group it would get really cozy, especially when more than 4 people are cooking and eating at home.
The Keurig coffeemaker was great, brand new stove and oven, I really appreciated that there were several bottles of shampoo, conditioner and soap in the bathroom and Fred came immediately to the rescue when it got really cold and we needed a heater for the bathroom.
