Jill's place was a great value indeed. The bus stop is close by, a short walk away. Lots of retail stores are just a short drive away. Jill was hospitable, and made me feel at home, and I could come and go at will. You can certainly pay much more and still not have all the comforts of home that Jill offers. Her driveway can accommodate a car, but ample parking is nearby on the street. Word of caution: don't park on the side of the street that is swept once a month if you don't want your car to be ticketed. But Jill gave me advice on how to fight it.
