Cynthia is a delightful woman and very artistically talented. She was very accommodating to us and wanted us to feel at home. She even let us keep our belongings in her dining area after check out so we didn't have to lug things around the city before our flight. She has a potentially very charming Victorian home but it definitely could use some updating and cleaning. The place had a distinct unpleasant odor. The window in the bedroom was cracked and broken and the bubble wrap didn't work to keep the sounds and smells of the neighborhood out. The refrigerator seal didn't work and was unclean. When we arrived the kitchen was full of dirty dishes. The bathroom sink was quite precarious. The linens were clean and bedding nice. The best part of my experience was her incredibly hot water for baths!!! She addressed an issue with the mattress. Overall Cynthia's hospitality made the stay doable.
