Carol is a warm and welcoming host, quick to make a comforting cup of tea and make one feel right at home. Her place is equally warm, with eclectic furnishings and decorations from her many travels. I personally loved the quality of light entering the space through the canopy of trees on her quiet, residential street, and bouncing off of her hardwood floors and bright walls. My room and the bathroom were clean, the mattress and pillows were comfortable, and the wifi was fast. I would recommend Carol's place to a friend.
