Lydia's place was lovely. Very private and spacious attic suite with everything I needed. Great neighborhood near public transit and also a Whole Foods grocery store, and lots of restaurants -- although I was craving Ethiopian so took a bus to a place near the Fairgrounds and back. One important note: Lydia does not want guests to drink coffee or tea in the suite because the carpet is white. Another note, I didn't pack as light as I should have and thus had to make three trips to bring my stuff up to the suite. But that's on me, not on the space. I should have packed fewer books.
I did not meet Lydia but I did meet three young men who appear to be students who live in rooms on the second floor. They were very quiet and polite as we passed each other in the kitchen -- which was a little messy, with pans in the sink and dishes around it. But there was coffee and so all was forgiven.
I would stay here again.
