Erika lives in a great neighborhood full of brownstone and brick two-family homes, with lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. She was very communicative and accommodating when we got stuck in traffic (22 miles took one hour...) trying to arrive by the time we agreed to check-in. She gave us a parking pass to use in order to park on the street in her neighborhood. Her house is very nice and clean, well decorated, and the cats are fluffy but quiet and didn't bother us. She made us coffee in the morning and gave us advice about where to go eat.
