We came in very late and it was easy to find the key and let ourselves in. The room was straight down the stairs from the back door so we did not have to go through the host's home. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy! There was lots of room with the sitting area and TV. Podji was a very good hostess and loved to play fetch. She was also very quiet and friendly. She was definitely one of the best parts of the trip. Lori was friendly too, though we did not attempt to pet her ;)

The location was fabulous! Less than a block from the library, a bus stop, and a Starbucks and just a few blocks to IHOP and an Enterprise rent-a-car. We rode bikes down Hawthorn Blvd and all the way down town! We took the bus back :) It could not have been a better location. We would definitely stay with Lori again. It was so much better than a hotel. Lori was able to give us suggestions, especially where to see the lunar eclipse.

This room and area exceeded our expectations. We are very grateful to Lori that she was willing to share her home with us. It was very private and we could have as much, or as little, interaction with Lori as we chose.
