Tara has a beautiful garden with lots of cozy places to sit and enjoy the sunshine. Beds are very comfortable. We did not hear any significant street noise as the downstairs unit is in the back of the house. There were some airplane sounds in the morning. She clearly wants you to be comfortable and has lots of little details in place to make your stay enjoyable. Also, there are lots of places to eat in easy walking distance. Kombucha on tap, breakfast acai bowls, noodle shop, vegetarian fast food, food co-op and more are a super short walk.
