Susa (Muse's mother, who was my host while I stayed) is VERY kind, VERY attentive, and VERY accommodating. The room is fine, the house is fine (nothing special on either count), and there is a bunch of junk in the kitchen and eating area, so I expected my stay to be somewhat the same: no attention to detail, no consideration of aesthetics...but I was wrong!

At least twice per week, Susa would find my dirty clothing and bedding in my room and WASH IT AND FOLD IT FOR ME! Now, I don't want you to expect that to her, as it may have been a reflection of the friendly relationship we formed while I was there. Still, it speaks to her commitment to make sure her guests are comfortable.

Finally, the other guests I stayed with were very nice, and I enjoyed our small interactions in the kitchen and common space. This may have been coincidental, but it may reflect the host's efforts to find conscientious guests.
