Cynthia is a very nice and visibly generous woman. The environment is just as eclectic as the photos, perfect for a creative type. Be sure to check in with Cynthia early and give her your game plan as she will take a little while to respond.
Things to note: There is more than one private room in the home, so there is a chance you won't be the only one staying; that in mind, there is only a hook & eye lock on the door and no safe for your things should you need that. You will have your own bathroom in this room, but there is no door (more of an open concept bathroom). All in all, the bed was comfortable and VHS tapes on the shelves were a nostalgic touch. The area has a solid walk/bike/bird score and the home was great for what we needed it for: sleeping, showering, and getting ready. Great value if you're looking for a quick stay.
