Very pleasant hostess with eclectic, international decor. Very earth-friendly presence throughout the house, and easy directions to everything one might need during one's stay, as well as cool facts about the house and the neighborhood.
Easy walking distance to food; walkable or bikable to the heart of downtown (which is a VERY cool place), but far enough that you can retreat from the bustle and have some peace.
Liked the toilet. It was a good reminder of how things should be.
And she cautioned that it might take a minute for hot water to reach the sink or shower; but that was not my experience. Hot water was fast and plentiful.
