We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shawna's sunlight filled refuge. It was indeed filled with natural light. We stayed during a cold week in December and it was very cozy inside. The home was as advertised. The location was great, the neighborhood felt very safe. A grocery store is just a couple of blocks away and subway stops are close. And Shawna supplied coffee to use with the coffee press, which was a nice touch.
We were surprised that no microwave was available, but truthfully anything we needed to heat could be done on the stove. I thought the mattress was comfortable, but my husband found it to be a bit firm. The water runs VERY hot to start, but once it runs for a while it regulates and can be adjusted to your preference. The home was cozy by day, but the bedrooms were warm at night. I did not inquire whether this could have been adjusted.
Overall we were very happy to stay at Shawna's place. Our stay was quite enjoyable. I would not hesitate to book with Shawna again. The firmness of the mattress might be the one thing that would have us look for another place the next time. But if you enjoy a firm mattress, that should not deter you from staying with this host.
