Jill is a very nice and helpful host. Being new to a big city was a littler nerve racking but the comfort of Jill and her home had me settled-in in no time. She is respects your personal space but is also social if you want to be social. She has a lot of knowledge about the area and helpful hints about what to do or where to eat. I went out for meals several times with Jill and had great food and conversation. She had friends over periodically throughout my three month stay and was always inclusive to their activities. Her kitchen is clean and available most of the time. The water bed was not the most comfortable thing in the world, but that was learned by experience for me. Overall, I had a great stay, and Jill was a great host.
