Julia and Ishmael's renovated historical grocery store (if the caretaker Sarah was right about the building's usage) is an adorable example of mixed housing we need more of in cities. Although I had a private room, I share the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom with other guests, which helped keep the room rates low and make the most of the space. Even during COVID I felt very safe using public areas, and when we had problems with the exterior lock, Sarah immedietly came by to distribute backup keys so we wouldn't be locked out. She was great and the room's breeziness (with optional AC) made sleeping during the nights really easy.
