I stayed at Kathleen's place for 8 days, and even though I was out almost every day from morning to late evening, it was always comforting to know I was coming home to a safe, clean and welcoming environment. The space is compact but homely in that you'll have everything you need. I do laugh at myself now because even though the description said it was a basement apartment, I somehow didn't register that this meant little to no natural light or air. So I was a bit bummed about that. But Kathleen's warm and kind hosting made it all worthwhile and I have no regrets about having booked with her. It's always a gamble when booking accomodation, and this is one time, I'm thankful to have chosen the right host. :-)
