Kathleen was a great host. Her communication was amazing and she replied almost immediately when I contacted her. All the appliances are BRAND NEW as of 12-26-2017, including the stove, fridge, and microwave. There were towels and linens that were clean and tidy. The home was quaint and the living room area was pretty decent size with enough room for 8 people.
The light rail is only 3 blocks from her house so that made it easy to get to the path (but to get into the city does take a little bit of time, .especially if you miss the light rail as it's another 18minutes until the next train comes).
The Bad:
The beds (especially in the main bedroom) are really bad. There are divots on both sides of the main bed mattress itself. It makes it very difficult to sleep on that bed. The other bed in the other room makes a ton of noise when you move at all at night. Also the bedroom window in the secondary room has a good size gap in it that lets a TON of cold air in and the night we stayed it was freezing outside so the room was extremely cold because of this.
Other than the two beds the stay was very nice and the access was great. The location is pretty good depending on how close you want to be to the city. It took us 45 mins to get into the city, but that was because we JUST missed the light rail train and had to wait 18 minutes for the next one to come.
