The Birdhouse is exactly as described; cozy, charming and colorful. Kate is knowledgeable about the area and extremely accessible. She was exceptionally personable and friendly. We had car trouble during our stay and she was able to help us with transportation -- far exceeding expectations. Kitchen and bathroom were shared and great; had pleasant interactions with other guests throughout our stay, and we enjoyed the company of Kate and dog Lola when they were around. The location is just blocks from downtown, very walkable and easy to navigate. Great for active guests who want to be in and out of the house and use the room as a home base!
