Sheryl is an excellent host, very accommodating and fun to be around. The house is, as advertised, a work in progress (e.g., you can see some unpainted plywood). It's cozy, comfortable, and a little quirky, in an updated early-1900's sort of way. The neighborhood, Wallingford, is charming and pretty, but down-to-earth. You feel like you've gone back it time a little.
