Sharon’s house is beautiful and very comfortable! Just like the photos, and has a very calm and sophisticated vibe. I’d never used an espresso machine before, but it wasn’t very difficult to figure out. I was glad that I brought slippers, because being wintertime the floors were chilly, but the heating system and space heaters kept the place comfy. The neighborhood is quiet and it was a great place to relax for a few days. I would love to come back with a few friends!
