I had the most wonderful experience staying with Tricia and David.
Both are such lovely people and the house is historic and beautiful! The backyard patio area and the tomato plants in the garden too are an absolute delight.
The room itself is great with a comfortable bed, desk and own couch/living area. David and Tricia are very easy and accommodating and helped me with any queries I had. Their daughter Lisa is also very lovely.
The location itself is PERFECT. Just down from the super hip E 17th street (my tip - sandwich from Olive and Finch!) And literally a 15 min walk East into the city centre. Also nearby are the Botanical Gardens which are a must-see.
As a solo traveller, safety is very important to me and i felt very relaxed and safe staying here and I would return in a heartbeat!
