Sharon and her family are very nice people. My stay at her home was excellent. The room is just as shown in the pictures, all the house was pretty clean, the bed is very comfortable. You don't have to worry about Bella, their dog, usually she just wants to say hi and then she leaves. About the kitchen, you will have a small refrigerator for your food. Everything is pretty close: The bus stop is one block and a half away, the metro station is 3 blocks away, laundry is 2 blocks away, many food stores nearby. I totally recommend you this choice!
