This is a great choice for a stay. The privacy is high but when you do meet someone else from the house they're low-key and courteous. The walk to the train is pleasant, the neighborhood friendly, and there's a lot of character around Angela's house in particular, with a great garden and resident chickens and interesting old photos. Don't let 'basement' put you off: there's tons of light coming into the two private rooms (so much so that I recommend bringing an eye shade so you can sleep in if you want). Angela has set up a very functional kitchen, stocked it well with dishes and even coffee/tea-wise, and greets you with a cup of tea and a sit down chat. Also the water pressure in the shower is great: always a selling point for me. My only caution and it's a tiny one is that it's not always quiet: the next-door neighbors are of the play your radio loud enough to reach the street where you're working on your car variety, and the first floor tenants don't seem to have carpeting. This was an issue for me sometimes because I was working from 'home' trying to meet some writing deadlines and (mainly) because I have a sound sensitivity: for the mass of humanity, and for anyone who won't be around during the day, it's not an issue. Super price for the value, generous and warm host.
