Cynthia is a great host, very welcoming, hospitable and caring. The house is old and charming, with a lot of classic mid-century furniture, and because Cynthia is an artist, there are plenty of great art books all around. Kitchen, living room and dining room are on the ground floor, Cynthia is living in the basement, and there are three rooms on the first floor with common toilet and shower. My room was spacious including a queen-size bed and two comfortable sofa-style chairs, with a small extra cabinet for clothes and a table for work. The house also has a small and very nice backyard.
The neighborhood is green and quiet, and the main street Colfax with pubs and restaurants and with buses running to downtown regularly, is just one an half blocks away. If you are staying without a car and don't like to take the bus, downtown is about 20 min walk, and there is a grocery store in walking distance (10min).
