Sandy met me at the door when I arrived and welcomed me into her home. She showed me around the house, telling me things like kitchen use, recycling, and so on. Most helpful were the info sheets on the bedside table: one a walking guide of Fremont neighborhood and the other a list she had made of neighborhood food spots. I used both of those extensively. Sandy was actually gone for a good part of my stay, but left me feeling very welcome and with enough knowledge of the house that I was quite comfortable.
