Maureen was an absolutely wonderful host! Not only was her place just as advertised - clean, quiet, easy to find - she did a little grocery shopping for me, and offered some of her (many) delicious home-made jams for toast in the morning.

She had a extensive list of local restaurants and bars (all looked very good), and was very calm and fun to chat with. Budda, the cat, was also incredibly friendly. Having grown up in California, I was thoroughly impressed with her earthquake preparedness as well!

I would highly recommend staying with Maureen where ever she is able to host.
