Cheryl is a wonderful host. Kind, warm and has a ton of interesting stories to tell. She also had plenty of recommendations for places to visit throughout the city that you won't find from major travel sites. I always appreciated her conversations at the beginning and end of the day.
The house itself is a lovely location one block from a truly fantastic stunning view, in a neighborhood that feels safe and home-y. The decor is quirky and interesting and I truly loved the art she's displayed throughout the house.
The location is only a block from the nearest bus stop and though I personally had never worked a bus system before, it was easy to figure out. It's so close to every major attraction. The convenience is well worth the stay here.
The room was only slightly smaller than expected but still very comfortable. Very clean, neat and comfortable. Bedding, pillows and sheets all so nice, it had me falling asleep quickly (and I personally suffer insomnia lol). She provides just about everything you could need, from shampoo, conditioner and bodywash to a variety of haircare products to a brand new toothbrush! A keurig is conveniently right at hand and she had bottles of water ready whenever asked. She also provided desserts at night and was attentive to anything we needed during our stay.
If you're allergic to dogs or birds, I do not recommend this place to stay. If not, I do! Her dogs are very friendly and will become little friends during your visit. Also, I don't recommend this for someone with accessibility requirements as there are a lot of stairs here. This wasn't a problem for me but I figured I'd mention it for those who it would be.
