Jo was very clear and quick with her responses. She knows her city well and is very open to providing clear instructions about public transportation and things to do.

The room was spacious and very nice. I had a large area to spread out. There is not a closet in the room but I was able to improvise by hanging my dresses on the backs of the chairs. The bed was very cozy and the room perfectly air conditioned.

During my stay Jo was out of town for work. However she did have someone in the house, Brian, to help if anything was needed. Heads up, Brian works late nights so I didn't see him until the second day of my stay. I didn't get a formal tour until I met him but I was able to easily locate bowls spoons etc for my kitchen needs, and of course find the bathroom.

The other guests at the house were very friendly too.

The neighborhood was pretty close to the heart of things but not exactly walkable. There is a lot of construction near by and the neighborhood can be intimidating in the late hours. I was visiting on my own, so I felt more comfortable getting around by Uber or Taxi.

One of the things that I would recommend on improving is the cleanliness of some of the shared spaces. It is an older house so it is understandable that things may not be as clean "looking' as we would like but it could have been cleaner. The tub's interior was clean but the tub walls around it. The sink and floor could have been cleaner and the back yard had lots of dog waste. The towels were very clean and there was plenty of toilet paper. I think it might've been hard to keep up with the bathroom with Jo gone and Brian working a lot.

And a heads up...the lock was bit trickier when leaving the house. Be sure push the button on the top, wait until you hear the whoosh like sound, then turn to lock the device. Once you get the patterning down, it is simple.

And the pets are really sweet!
