Alexandra provides a clean, welcoming atmosphere that put us right at ease upon arrival. Her first question: "have you eaten?" spoke to her attention to our needs and a desire to make us comfortable.
The King Room is huge, with a very comfortable bed, ample room for belongings, and quick access to kitchen and bathroom.
Breakfast food provided was wonderful - from delicious local fresh bread to her home-made peach jam, we were well-fed each morning.
Alexandra's home is well-situated for exploring downtown but avoiding the noise and traffic that accompany it. Downtown is walkable in 15 minutes, though it will take longer if you take her advice and stroll 2 blocks to 17th Avenue first - I challenge you to make it to downtown without a stop at Ace or one of the pubs on the way!
Alexandra's recommendations for quirky museums and area hiking were top-notch; we had an excellent experience with the help of her recommendations and helpful maps.
We will absolutely look her up again upon our next visit to the area. We highly recommend Alexandra and her home for your next trip through the area!
