The space was as advertised - clean and comfortable, albeit minus a working stove/oven (which Sylvia clearly states on her page). The apartment is totally separate from the main house, which means there is a lot of privacy. I only ran into Sylvia once, and we had a nice chat while her dogs were playing in the yard. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea and had beer glasses in the freezer ready to go. The location is great - very close to downtown! There is also lots of parking space near the house, so no worries on that front if you have a car. The only slight disappointment was that the wifi was out the first night we were there (Sylvia let me know about a day beforehand), although it was working by the second night. Overall, I would happily recommend Sylvia's place.
