The host is very kind. The place is as described except for the kitchen. You have to schedule with the host when you want to use the kitchen. She has to take the pots out for you. When she didn’t see my message requesting to cook and we couldn’t figure out a time that worked for baking some sweet potatoes, she kindly made them for us and even brought them to the coffee shop where we were working. I just wish I had known beforehand about how the kitchen is not really an available space without an appointment. We ended up spending the money we saved on her place on food purchases outside because we didn’t feel comfortable having to ask permission every time we were hungry.
