Ruth was very accommodating in terms of check in time, toiletries, bedding, and a key to lock the room while away! The house itself is older and it is a hostel like environment with other guests living in separate quarters but sharing one bathroom. There can be many bugs and mosquitos found in the bathroom if the doors and windows are kept open and this can be quite frustrating to face first thing in the morning. The kitchen needs to be updated and a couple appliances replaced as well as they happened to have been there since the house was built. The room I stayed in was quite spacious with two couches and a king size bed. There were two skylights that made it hard to sleep in the morning as the summer sun rises quite early in the am but not really anything can be fixed about that. There is a dog and cute cat that come to visit too. It should be noted that two flights of stairs must be climbed to get to the space and the laundry room is another flight of stairs below in the basement. She also installed air conditioning in the room for me too. In the end my stay was less than ideal but Ruth was very nice and it was nice to meet her nonetheless!
