The description of Carin's home does not do it justice. This is a basement bedroom with sitting area, fireplace, private bathroom, and private entrance. It was charming, well-decorated, and very comfortable. There is a small refrigerator which was stocked with tasty treats and a microwave. Carin was a lovely host.

While this place is more like a basement apartment than a private room, it was noisier than expected. The bed is right under a street-facing window, so you get quite a bit of noise from cars and pedestrians. Plus, Carin was watching her grandkids during the day which made for noisier afternoons.

All in all a great place, just pack your earplugs.
