Helen is a fabulous host! She’s very communicative and timely in her responses. I loved chatting with her—we have lots of similar interests! Her home is super cozy (maybe small for two people, but my mom and I did well in the room) and the covered patio is gorgeous and such a delight to enjoy on a sunny day. The room and bathroom are private. You enter through the front door, then in that entry way is the bedroom and bathroom. Up the stairs is her living space. Shared entrance, private areas. I would absolutely stay here again!
