Vicki R & Matt offered excellent hospitality. We liked being able to use the front room, usually occupied by Champ, a handsome, friendly Russian Blue cat. We were also allowed use of the fridge and kitchen, which we appreciated. The cozy basement room with adjoining bathroom was perfect...quiet, comfortable, and well appointed, with thick towels and crisp, clean sheets. Matt referred us to Linger, an "eatuary" (it was formerly Olinger Mortuary--cute, huh?) within walking distance. It has a rooftop bar with a commanding view of the city. A nearby coffee shop, Cherry Bean, also provides a good cup of coffee gratis to guests of Matt and Vicki and has other yummy breakfast items and welcoming baristas. The #44 city bus stop is close to the home and made getting around the city very easy. Talking with Matt and Vicki on our last evening was a memorable event. Both are friendly people with interesting stories, who are interested in their guests' stories too. Thanks for a great stay, M & V!
