I had a wonderful experience staying at Lisa’s.
Her place was sparkling clean, very comfortable, and overall enjoyable
She seemed open to chatting, which was nice for me given that I was traveling alone, but also giving you your space and privacy if that’s all you wanted.
She is very knowledgeable about the city, and due to her job, knows of things going on that may affect your stay/commute. I found this very helpful as there was an event near my job that would have prevented me from parking and getting to work on time.
The drive to downtown was very quick, 10-12 minutes. The neighborhood is very residential and seems very safe, with parking never being a problem. Although it may not be the most “hip” part of town with tons of shops and restaurants (there a few however), I preferred the benefits of her area due to a short commute and super easy parking
Oh, and She has a really sweet, low key dog :)
