Douglas is a very warm and accommodating host. He responded within minutes to my booking request and he arranged for an early checkin due to my flight arrival time. He also generously offered transportation to/from the light rail stop. The location is quiet and we were able to walk a few blocks for coffee at 2 different cafes in the morning and dinner at the Howe (yummy!). The house is charming and the large room is simple, and yet a nice retreat upstairs. The only drawback was the one shared bathroom downstairs. I cannot complain though, because this is an excellent value!
