My first Airbnb, so I was uncertain how it would go. It felt like staying with a friend who was too busy to hang out with you but wanted you to be comfortable and have a good time. Very easy and casual overall. I felt very much at ease in the house, and the other guests were quiet and respectful. Jennifer was warm and thoughtful, remembering that I was concerned about my room being too hot and showing me how to put the big fan in front of the French doors to bring in the cool night air.

The neighborhood is delightful, with pleasant walks past beautiful gardens and flowers. Very quiet at night - I could hear crickets through the window! So different from staying in a hotel downtown.

I was worried about sharing the bathroom with so many people, but it worked out somehow. My room was right next to the bathroom, so it was very convenient.
