I didn't read the listing very carefully, so I was surprised to find myself in a 4-bedroom house with no resident owner. That said, I stayed almost a week, and the guests who variously showed up to occupy the other rooms were either pleasant or invisible. The house is kept spotlessly clean by a housecleaning crew that comes in after each guest departure. Cathy was immediately responsive when I had questions or wanted to extend my stay.

The night I arrived, the two parking places were already occupied and I had to park on the street outside the boundaries of this labyrinthine townhouse development. Pulling my suitcase back to my townhouse, I got lost and wandered in circles for 10 minutes. The next day somebody left and (1) I got a parking space, and (2) I discovered that the Airbnb app on my smartphone would guide me right to the garage door.

I would certainly stay here again, but I don't think I would recommend it for a woman traveling alone. Too much uncertainty about who your housemates are going to be.
