Kristen is a great host and I absolutely loved staying at her guesthouse! Kristen communicated with me before the trip and was available for any questions. She greeted me in person and gave simple directions regarding entry/exit and had snacks and cold drinks available on arrival. She also checked in the next day to make sure all was well. Kristen is an excellent communicator and I felt that she would respond immediately to any questions. I didn't really have any after check-in and she was great about respecting space and privacy.

This is an excellent location, right near the streetcar line, extremely quiet, peaceful, and a cute, functional, well-appointed cottage. Love the radio/turntable/cd set to WWOZ, which I never turned off. I was very comfortable sleeping at night with the doors to the beautiful courtyard open. I was also comfortable as a female solo traveler getting around at night in the neighborhood on foot or by streetcar. Thanks Kristen!
