Betty was a wonderfully hospitable host. We didn't see much of her while we there because we were gone most of the day. But all communication before was great, and she was extremely flexible and accommodating. Her place was perfect for my family. We were mostly just there to sleep so we didn't need anything fancy. We were good with a hotplate and microwave. The only down side was that it's a basement - so you hear all the footsteps above. It wasn't that bothersome and it was during reasonable hours, so we were fine with it. It didn't feel that much like a basement since there are actual windows that open. A note for any future guests - the floor slopes a little in places so be careful if you have balance issues. It's not a tripping hazard or anything, but it could pose a problem if you were unsteady on your feet.
