I loved having a clean private room and bathroom, with access to kitchen if needed. Using public transportation and walking back and forth to the bus stop gave me a great sense of the vibrant diverse urban neighborhood. The cats were warm furry greeters every night when I came back to the house. Because our schedules didn't coincide, Suzanne and I only talked twice, once when I arrived and once when I was about to leave, but we texted back and forth and I felt very welcome.
