Tahira and her family are consummate hosts: instantly friendly and welcoming. Her children are seemingly as friendly and comfortable talking to guests as she is, which is really impressive. It felt like I had known Tahira for a long time within minutes of being there due to the ease with which she conversed and interacted.
The home is centrally located in Spring Valley, making it easy to get around and not too far to get to any place. The room was clean and having a table/workspace was a huge help; it's also a nice luxury to have your own bathroom.
Some people have complained about the noise - there are several dogs and several children, which is clearly described. The noise never got above what any reasonable person could expect. Children will be loud sometimes, dogs will bark sometimes... take into account how you feel about that. The family couldn't be more welcoming (and the dogs are quite friendly!) and I enjoyed staying here!
