I was a little dubious about staying in someone's home because I've never done that before but Rachel is a gracious host and it was nice to have access to the kitchen, living room and deck. The place is really cute and very clean nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The basement room is very cozy with a comfortable bed and the adjoining room is nice for Netflicks and a comfy couch. I much appreciated access to a washer and dryer as well. The stairs were a bit of a problem for my knees and as the bathroom is upstairs it meant having to go up and down more than I might have otherwise. All in all though a very comfortable stay.
