Althea is a very kind and understanding host who cares about those staying with her. Her house does have unfinished renovations in places like a patch of wall needing paint but it is clearly loved by its owners. It was great having other travelers to talk with in the evenings and Althea helped make it an enjoyable experience. If you book here do not expect 5-star luxury. What you get is a comfortable room, nice breakfast (I had banana cranberry pancakes) at a great price. Several things to note:
-the door to the bedroom I used did lock but only from the inside.
-Althea hosts exchange students at times. She has a set of strict rules for them. If you find a copy in your room, they don’t apply to airb&b guests.
-the bed was in excellent condition but is firm not soft.
One last thing to note. There was another guest who was evicted on his first night there (my last night). When he opened his door everyone in the kitchen area could smell the marijuana. Another guest and I both witnessed it and we both felt Althea was being too nice in agonizing over what to refund him after he left.
I would definitely stay there again
