How can I sum this up in 500 words?? Amanda was so gracious, welcoming, and helpful! I felt right at home from the moment my cab dropped me off. The home was beautifully decorated. My room was so cozy. And, I felt safe going for a morning run or walking back from an evening out. Amanda was so helpful with a map of the train system and where to eat/spend time. She even shared her beer with me - a mark of a true friend!
