Connie is a warm host. Her welcome was timely and generous, showing me her beautiful home, and offering anything I might need. The Airbnb room was spacious, spotless, sunny, and offered necessities including bath towels, a work desk with pens, pencils, and paper. In the top floor, the room was also private, though Connie was often kindly present just a few floors below, to talk with, ask questions of, or exchange hellos.
