Velvet's home was fantastic. It's right by the Moog synth factory, a brewery, and the best coffee shop in town, and a short walk to downtown. I spent a good deal of time on the lovely porch couch. The A/C is a must-have in the summer months. And I had the run of the place for most of the trip - Velvet was out of town. Plus, the combination-based lock is brilliant - makes it so easy to get in and out!
