We had a nice time staying with Lisa. She was a communicative host, and it was really easy to check in and walk to places in the neighborhood. It was especially nice to be in the basement where it was cool during some hot days. I was able to work effectively from the desk. The location is great, however there are some bulldozed houses nearby which detracts from the charm a bit. Also if you're over 6ft, you won't really fit in the shower. Overall really pleasant stay. excellent value. We enjoyed seeing the Roosevelt highschool orchestra practice across the road, as well as running to green lake in the morning.
