I loved my stay at Sheryl's house. Set back from the street, it really had the feel of staying in a farmhouse out in the country. The house is quirky (which is why I chose it), but everything was very clean, and my room had a spectacular view and was perfect for my needs. It even included a vintage desk to work at. Though the house is a work in progress, my stay was not impacted at all negatively by it. This house has great bone structure, and I was impressed with improvements Sheryl had made that serve to bring the lush outdoors in. The intangibles are what really made the stay for me... the house was redolent with the smell of apples from the giant tree out front stewing on the stove, and I also enjoyed the company of my host (who more than went out of her way to help me with job or rental contacts), her nice cat, Joey, and the succession of other nice guests, all of whom I hope to keep in touch with. A great memory will be kicking back in deck chairs on the front lawn and eating ice cream with Sheryl and another guest while shooting the breeze. This was my first Airbnb stay, and it'll be hard to top. I would definitely choose to stay with this host again in the future, and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
