Victoria is such a warm, caring, kind host who always made me feel welcome in her lovely home! She strikes a great balance between friendliness and giving you your privacy and space. I enjoyed getting to know her, and also enjoyed retreating to my own little area. I found the bed to be comfortable and appreciated the pretty little sitting area with two chairs and a low table in the bedroom--so nice for morning coffee or evening chill time. I had a private bathroom during my stay, which I really appreciated! The backyard area is lovely. The neighborhood is quiet, and felt calm and safe. There's a small, pretty walking circle nearby that was a great place for quick runs--would also be nice for a short walk! Victoria also let me know I could go to the community pool nearby, which I really appreciated even though I didn't end up making it there! The dog members of the family show lots of excitement at comings and goings or various noises with loud barking and some jumpiness, which may feel intense to some, especially at first as you are getting to know each other. They are sweet-natured and they like people--they will happily interact with you, but will also leave your private space be if you prefer to close the door. Speaking of space--because I was the only guest staying, Victoria welcomed me to use her office, which was a huge bonus! Victoria's schedule as a teacher dovetailed really nicely with mine as someone working from home. Finally, I really appreciated the dedicated parking space in the driveway--the street parking could get pretty crowded on this street at times, and I loved never needing to think about or leave extra time for parking. All in all, Victoria and her place embody the original spirit of Airbnb. I enjoyed my time here and feel lucky to have found this welcoming spot with a thoughtful host who showed lots of care for my comfort. I would happily stay here again!
