Amanda is a great host! I really appreciated that she responded promptly to messages. There always seem to be a few challenges that crop up when one travels, and her quick communication made things a lot easier as I worked through unexpected parking questions and cared for the cat. (Ophelia is actually very easy to take care of, and we warmed right up to each other.) Amanda had everything ready for me when I arrived, including drinks in the fridge (thank you!) and a comfy bed.
The home itself is lovely. I was traveling for work and found a couple good places to set up my computer and get stuff done. Also, there's a nice outdoor seating area, as well as a beautiful window that overlooks the main street. The neighborhood is great; I felt safe; and I loved going on walks and looking at the historic homes around me.
