We had a nice stay here -- Miriam was very friendly and responsive, check-in was easy, and it's a quiet neighborhood with lots of parking. As other reviews mention, there are a couple of friendly/curious roosters in the backyard, which was fun to me but if that's NOT your thing, don't let it deter you, I would just tell Miriam before you get there -- she can coop them (and she does at night). Also, they don't make noise so that's not a concern. We're glad we stopped here for a night and would recommend Miriam's place to others. Thanks!
