Brandon's place was very clean and had many thoughtful touches: decaf coffee, a hair dryer, and a "welcome" treat. It's in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees. It's close enough to the city that everything is accessible, but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle. Two things to be aware of: it is a basement, so you can hear footsteps in the morning (for the light sleepers). And it doesn't have it's own thermostat. However, any time I needed the temperature adjusted, Brandon replied promptly and changed it. He also provides a space heater to balance things out, just in case. Again, a thoughtful touch! Overall, this is a great stay and I'd come back again!
