I absolutely loved my week's stay at Tara's place! The room was great with a comfy bed/couch combo, a desk for working and plenty of space for clothes and my bags. The rest of the house was well stocked and very clean. And meticulously organized and labeled! Two major pluses were her adorable and super friendly cats and all the amazing plants! The location is great, too. Convenient and walkable to all the great restaurants and shops in OB and the bike trail. As Tara notes, it is on a busy street, so you could hear people walking along the sidewalk and cars especially at night, but it was honestly never a problem for me - I never even used the white noise machine she provided. I would definitely love to start here again!
