We were looking for a space in our neighborhood which would meet the needs of our 'mobility-challenged' loved one who was visiting for several months, and found it at Traci and Dan's Elmwood home. The location could not have been better, very safe neighborhood (great for walking!), convenient, easy parking, quiet, yet very near all the places we frequent most. The room itself is rather small, but functional and comfortable, as are shower/toilet facilities; the bed has just the right firmness, we were told! There is plenty of storage, both in the desk, the bookcase, and in the walk-in closet. The room is directly off of the kitchen, which makes it easy to use the microwave, should that be necessary. A HUGE plus was the breakfast organized every morning: juice, boiled eggs, a muffin or two, and fresh fruit and yogurt. It just made starting the day so luxurious, sitting in the breakfast nook overlooking their garden.

The Siegel's are a fun family, very active, very busy both in the community (house concerts, music, jewelry making, among some of the activities) and with their kids (daughter at college, son - Sam - in high school--very cool and talented kid:). They hang out a lot at home, but respected our privacy as much as possible, as we tried to theirs. Since there was no t.v. in the room, we were able to invest in a small one with its own antenna so that M could watch in his own room, without disturbing the family (although he was welcome to join them!) The desk had plenty of space for his computer as well, so that added value to the room.

This space worked so well, we have booked for another month. Thank you, Traci, Dan, and Sam, for being so gracious :)!
