A tree-lined street close to the zoo with early 20th century row houses. The house itself very nicely decorated. Your hosts perfectly relatable, friendly, helpful. The private bath and the room on the upper floor exactly as described. Coffee, tea, sweets and wifi to cover your basic needs. Public transport (either the green/yellow or the red line) ~ 20 mins away (not considering buses), also restaurants and grocery stores. This is all excellent so far, plus there’s a special feeling of being welcomed at this place. I really enjoyed the stay.
Two caveats: There’s a dog, but one of the friendliest dogs you can imagine. And the bed is good for people less than 6 ft tall (which I am). Above that height, a foot might dangle over the end of the bed.
