I will just start with: Jan was awesome. She had our room ready early with all the windows open letting the sun and fresh air flow through. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She had fresh fruit and flowers set out on the table.

Jan's house is in a very nice, quaint neighborhood. We felt very safe, and I fell in love with the neighborhood in the short time we were there. The space itself exceeded my expectations. It was very roomy and open. The kitchen has skylights that doors onto the patio that's under a tree. My favorite part was the fact that there are so many windows - it really made this space.

The only problem that Jan said she hasn't figured out was the hot water. If she is doing laundry or running a hot bath, it takes the hot water away from the upstairs. With a little communication with Jan about when she plans on doing those things, it isn't a problem. The shower itself probably wouldn't accommodate a large person very well, but it gets the job done!

Jan offered us a home-cooked breakfast one morning, unfortunately we had already eaten. She did give us fresh cut fruit - it was delicious. We met her mother and Susan, her mother's caretaker. Both are very nice, helpful women. Tomas as well - they answered our questions about the city, where to go, where not to go - etc. I was sad to leave, as we were just getting to know each other!

This was our first Airbnb experience - I will never stay in a hotel again!
