My wife, dog Flint, and I loved our stay with super hostess Shar and her lovely canine welcoming committee, Jade! The apartment is warm, inviting and easy to relax in and the full kitchen, bar seating and laundry mean you can make yourself at home comfortably no matter how long you stay. Yes, it's a basement, but you won't feel at all confined or that it's too dark. Sharlene has excellent taste (we learned she majored in interior design!) and has thought of everything from a workstation to plenty of closet space, comfy living room furniture and fireplace and even robes for after showering. The bed is easy to fall asleep in and the bedding is soft and warm. We also enjoyed her lovely yard (she’s a gardener with a nice eye for plants) and wished we could have shared a night around the fire pit while we were in town. During this crazy time of Covid, it meant so much to find this lovely spot with such a wonderful, friendly and easygoing hostess who has so thoughtfully and safely prepared for guests . We immediately relaxed when we arrived and left feeling we’d made new friends. (Sharlene also gave us masks as a parting gift!) We felt safe, secure and comfortable throughout our visit and would highly recommend this wonderful basement apartment to anyone.
