The apartment was wonderful, the bed was even more comfortable than my own, everything was immaculately clean, you could not ask for a more helpful and generous hostess. Apartment has everything--dishes, glasses, silverware, utensils, paper towels, soap, etc. Location is beautiful residential area, bus stop is across the street; restaurants, drugstore, Starbucks, small market are 1 block away. Free parking in back if you have car. I have low blood sugar & also cannot drink cow's milk, so she agreed to get a half gallon of soy milk for me before I arrived, and then refused to allow me to pay for it. My stay was 2 weeks so I asked her where I could buy groceries -- she took me grocery shopping in her car & waited for me to buy everything I needed. I did my laundry for free in her high-tech W/D, & she even supplied the laundry detergent & fabric softener. I invited her to lunch, & she insisted on buying me lunch, too, a day or so before I left. I was feeling ill the day I was supposed to leave, so she said I could check out late, at 2:00 p.m. I kept feeling like I was going to throw up & had to keep lying down & resting, so didn't manage to leave until about 4:30 p.m., so I left her a check for the extra time, but she wouldn't accept it and insisted on mailing it to me. I hope we will be friends forever, she is such a nice person, and also involved in a lot of fascinating and important humanitarian work.
