We’ve stayed in shared homes before and this was one of the best! Our room was spacious and met our needs for lounging, working, getting ready outside the bathroom, and of course, sleeping. Very charming decor. We did not meet John but Ainslie was very welcoming and flexible with our arrival time - much appreciated! We did not use any of the shared space beyond the bathroom - more because of timing and activities - but it looked cozy and there was certainly plenty of room to enjoy. I would definitely consider their place again for another stay.
