A huge Whole Foods two minutes away, and Daniel's fully equipped kitchen, made it possible for us to eat many meals in the room (and thus save money on restaurants). Daniel provided a guest parking pass (a necessity in that neighborhood). When we asked permission to host a few friends for dinner, Daniel and Mary graciously supplied extra chairs, glasses and plates. When it snowed, the sidewalk in front of the house was shoveled early in the morning. When we ran out of coffee-pods, Mary, supplied additional pods right away.
