This was a wonderful stay and experience. An original home in every bit, offered graciously by a wonderful host.
Home is a walking distance to the Mall, with its rich sights and museums. Using the city bikes is another good option, weather permitting. Convention Center is 20-minute walk. I was there in Mid April, and witnessed the 4 seasons in one week, spring with its cherry blossoms, followed by a hot summer day, then sudden chilly cold and rainy couple of days, and sunny spring good bye last day! Carl's home has an excellent finely adjustable heating system. As mentioned in other reviews, it is undergoing continuous make-up. in the guide on Airbnb, it was stated the door to the backyard has its key hanging beside the door, when I arrived I found that replaced by a lock but with loose door handles, when I left home, it was perfectly fixed lock and handles..!
Guest room is a very comfortable space, bed comfortably firm. Everything in the room and in the house is noticeably immaculately clean giving a pleasant feeling. Room a bit lit with no curtains on window, so people potentially disturbed by a gentle morning light can use eye shields.
It was always a pleasure to meet Carl when he was available at home, converse a bit, and he is happy to give recommendations tailored to the guest questions, and as is always the good case, mutual respect of the other's space is a highlight.
Could not have been better, this was not just a stay, it was a nice experience in a an appreciable homey atmosphere..
