Susan's place was just as described and worked out very well for me, a lone woman traveler. I felt safe and it was nice and clean. It was a short ride to downtown and though I didn't explore the neighborhood much, it looked like a couple of places to eat were nearby. I had a pleasant run in the morning around the area and it was a nice area to run in--not too much traffic and felt safe.
Susan was very helpful and was always very responsive. She was also accommodating regarding one of my requests and even offered a ticket she happened to have available to a museum I wanted to visit. Really, this was a great place for the one night I had available.
