Our first experience of this sort; we didn't quite know what to expect. Two unflappable New Yorkers, we were pleasantly surprised. We were welcomed by two very warm, friendly, engaging, helpful people - Annette and Scott - into their beautifully decorated, modern home and made to feel very much at ease. Our generous sized room was very comfortable, nicely appointed, with lots of closet and drawer space and a private, newly tiled bath. The bed was very comfortable and the soft, dual control electric blanket was appreciated during chilly nights. Everything was scrupulously clean and in good repair. We were offered access to their modern, full kitchen, our own full sized refrigerator, their very comfortable living room and wifi. Their home is on a quiet residential street, with easy street parking, that is close enough to everything you might need but away from the traffic and noise. Alas, we could only stay a week; we would have been very comfortable staying much longer.
