Serena is a smart, caring, generous, well-read woman who offers extraordinary hospitality to travelers. Her home is stimulating, art-filled, and an architectural treasure, and she's a human treasure. The bed she provides in a second-floor room is extremely comfy and the white-noise machine she bought just for Airbnb travelers is a huge help. I'd never used one before but found it so helpful to my sleep that I'm going to buy one of my own. Loved having the bathroom en suite.
