My wife and I (and Kipper, our small terrier mix) really enjoyed Cynthia's hospitality. Check-in was very straight forward--which made for a welcome end to a long day of travel. It was great to have our own space that opened up to a lovely back yard. Cynthia was available to offer helpful tips to local eating/drinking establishments. We found lots of great (dog-friendly) spots in easy walking distance--and the central location made accessing major arteries (e.g., I-5 and I-8) quick and easy--plus getting to Old Town was less than 10 minutes on side streets.
