The host was really welcoming, the house was easy going. Austin was awesome about buying a hairdryer when I asked about one. It felt a lot like staying at a youth hostel--everyone respected privacy but was accessible for conversation. Folks weren't around that much--but then neither was I. I was doing a training. There was a curtain in front of the nook space so that created some privacy. I'd say the biggest downside was the parking. There is very little parking in front of the house. My final day I had a note on my car because clearly I was in the neighbor's space but it had been late at night and I had been too tired to hunt for a space.
