Becky was a great host. She was warm and welcoming to me, also giving me all the space I could've hoped for. The room was great, like renting a little studio apartment for a few days. Everything I could need during my trip was all in the room, including helpful notes and instructions strategically placed in crucial places. I could tell that she had done all of this very thoughtfully. Also, she left a breakfast muffin from a local bakery outside my room as a little treat! Communicating with her was easy, comfortable, and kind. I messed up and left the windows open to my room one day and she let me know that she needed them closed to protect the security of her home with kindness, which I really appreciated.
The neighborhood is great and felt very safe. It was a fairly short walk to restaurants and a grocery store, which I did a couple of times while I was in town.
Know that she has two big dogs who are vocal when you arrive and seem to love people. Becky did her best to prevent them from interacting with me in case I wouldn't like that, which I appreciated. I could see how a smaller person or someone who isn't comfortable around big dogs might be uncomfortable, though I never felt that the dogs were anything more than excited and happy to see me.
I had a great experience staying with Becky and wouldn't hesitate to stay with her again.
