I stayed at Jennifer's for a month. Beautiful, cozy house in a beautiful neighborhood. The area is generally calm but street noise can be heard from the room, and it can be a bit loud when it rains. No problems with noise coming from inside the house, though. The nearby grocery stores were very convenient, and there are plenty of restaurants in the area. The private bathroom and entrance were huge pluses and would be great for anyone who prefers more privacy or keeps later hours. I also took advantage of the beautiful outdoor deck, perfect for doing some work or having a cup of tea (though I imagine less so in the winter). A space heater was made available to me for when it was a little colder in the room than I'd like, and that was very useful on chilly nights. I did have relatively low cell reception in the basement though, so if you're ordering delivery make sure to keep your phone close to the windows!
