I contacted Sara on short notice desperately looking for a quiet place to stay because the friends' house I was staying in was located on a very noisy thoroughfare, and I'm a very light sleeper. She promptly got back to me and I was able to get in the next day. As she was travelling, I had the entire home to myself. It's a cute old cottage just a 5 minute walk to a great cafe/bakery. Her decor felt very familiar to me, so I felt right at home, lol. I don't know how convenient it is from much else, as I was in town for a workshop about a half mile away and didn't get out beyond that.
The room I rented is the very top floor of the home - it feels like a small converted attic, in a good way : ) The only thing is if you happen to stay during warm weather, you'll definitely need to keep the windows open and the fan going, which is probably not a problem if you're a good sleeper. It was indeed quieter than where I was staying, but I'm ridiculously sensitive to noise so had to use earplugs with the windows open, due to an occasional loud car or motorcycle on a neighboring street. I had one warm night and the rest were nice and rainy and cool, so I was fine : )
All in all, I found it to be a great value, comfortable and cozy, and Sara is very responsive. Thanks!
