Pamela, our host, was very friendly and thoughtful and even thought to leave water bottles for us when we rented bikes. However, we found the actual apartment to be a little disappointing. We stayed in July and it was very hot outside. The basement was unventilated and felt damp and humid. Pamela left us with a small fan, but it wasn't enough to make a big difference. We did not sleep very comfortably and felt that the neighborhood was a little removed from the places we wanted to visit. The house is beautiful on the outside, and the basement suite was clean and adequate but we will probably seek housing elsewhere next time we visit.
