I stayed in this space for a month, and it worked out PERFECTLY!! It is very well designed to provide everything you need and to be autonomous from the hosts, except when you need something which they happily provide. It was an unusually cold (freezing) April, but once I got used to the balance between the space heater and the house heat, I was toasty. The neighborhood was great for walking my dog, and there was plenty of room for her travel kennel. I did have an unsolved mystery for awhile in that the coldness of the floor and the warmth coming from her body caused condensation under her mattress, but I just put the whole thing on top of the love seat/ottoman, so she was cozy and dry! Having easy access to laundry was so great, and the shower water pressure is awesome! The bed was quite soft, but I found that folding up the spare blankets and laying them across the middle of the bed (under the fitted sheet) gave my back the support it needed. Thanks you two!
