Pauline was an excellent host. She was warm and friendly and offered to share many of her meals with me. She made every effort to accommodate me when I had some issues upon arrival, and tried to make sure there was oatmeal, toast, and coffee available to me. If you like to cook, you have access to all of her cooking utensils and spices, etc.

The house is old, but clean. There was a peculiar smell in the living room which I wasn't a fan of, but it didn't affect my room. In the room, there is a fridge that is large enough for snacks and drinks, as well as a TV with HDMI ports. I had brought my own chromecast, but there was an Amazon firestick available as well. I'm not sure if the fire stick will be available to future guests.

The dogs, Daisy and Lola, are very large but very friendly. Daisy is maybe a little too friendly, but Pauline does try to keep them away from you if you show that you don't like them jumping on you.

The A/C is kept at 78, and on warm nights, provides a "white noise" that effectively drowns out many of the sounds from the street.

The house is not in the world's nicest neighborhood, but it isn't terrible, either. For reference: as a young woman, I did not feel safe enough to go for a run in the evening by myself, but I never felt unsafe or in danger, either. There is a Publix, CVS, and gas station within a couple of blocks.

Overall it was a pleasant stay and suited my needs for the month.
