Kelly responded immediately to my reservation and sent messages shortly before my arrival with instructions for entry and welcoming words. The room and bathroom were charming and clean. The little private deck overlooking the flower-filled back yard was very pleasant. The house is shared with the family, but they gave me just the right balance of privacy and friendliness. The neighborhood is pretty and quiet and there are many great places to eat nearby. I was on my bicycle and didn't have a car. It was an easy bike ride to parks, trails, and interesting shops and restaurants. A very comfortable, welcoming place to stay.
