I had to make a last-minute trip less than 2 weeks in advance and I got so lucky to find Diana's place!
After dealing with distracted/unresponsive potential hosts for a separate trip, I wasn't expecting much, but Diana really went above and beyond. She happened to arrive when I showed up and she graciously showed me into the unit and gave me some interesting background history of the house and how much care and passion she'd put into updating the space. She kindly let me borrow her blender and made it clear to contact her if I had any other questions or needs, which I didn't have to do because everything went smoothly!
The only small issue is that you might want to have some earplugs on hand if you're a light sleeper, as there may be some creaking noises from the floorboards upstairs -- which is totally understandable given the historical nature of the house.
Other than that, it was so wonderful to wake up surrounded by a lush green yard and feeling like I'm living in a Hobbit hole away from it all. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was very cute (yes, fresh eggs were provided!) and the location was great. I could walk around the neighborhood at night and feel safe.
It was the perfect stay for my trip and I am so thankful to have felt so welcomed and cared for!
