My stay at Heather's (and it is actually Heather's, even though she manages other properties, which I think is useful to know as I was a bit nervous about the idea of staying in a shared home with hosts I'd not communicated with) was good for my needs. I'd flown in from London and was heading out by train the next day so I needed somewhere clean and comfortable to overnight within reach of Union Station for the Flyaway bus and train. It was a 10-minute Uber, about $10, or there are bus options. In that sense the location is good as it's accessible to downtown. It also has amazing views, which I unfortunately didn't have time to appreciate fully.
Overall the setup is better for a short stay, but the USP of the property is its terraces and outlook, so it's worth budgeting some time to get to enjoy where you are. However, the position of the property overlooking a valley housing a set of high speed roads - which gives it its views - also means it's pretty loud with traffic noise, which is worth bearing in mind if you're sensitive to it. The room is also (I think) under the kids' room so there's some floor noise from above too.
So: Heather was friendly and helpful. Checkin was easy although for a tired traveller the instructions were a little complicated to parse! The room is pleasant and the bed comfortable (but creaky) - however it is quite warm and due to lack of curtains/blinds very bright, so bring an eye mask. Overall, a good experience. Thanks, Heather!
NB: I write reviews with the aim of informing other travellers - I had no issues with my stay and always raise any problems direct with hosts at the time should they arise.
