Comfy room with cozy lighting, and tall windows looking over a beautiful garden view. Also has a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee/tea in the common space, which I found convenient.
The neighborhood, and Michelle's street specifically, is a beautiful walk for those interested in historic architecture. Brownstones galore, basically like Sesame Street. Reminds me of Park Slope in Brooklyn. The local residents are friendly, and I always enjoyed my walk to and from work. Also there is a brand new Whole Foods close by, with a great hot bar.
The best part is the host Michelle. The room feels very private, but Michelle was available for coffee and toast (she makes her own bread from scratch). I had to work from home one day, which she also happily accommodated. She knows the local culture very well, and has the best recommendations for shows, galleries, and restaurants.
I will always try to stay with Michelle when I visit!
