Tom and Reba have a beautiful family home. This downstairs rental, with its separate outside entrance, gives the guest booth privacy and accessibility to the host. You, as the guest gets to decided the amount of interaction.
The room (s), living space and bathroom are very spacious, well decorated, and clean. Also, this rental is in a quite and beautiful neighborhood. As a solo traveler with no car, I appreciated being only 2 blocks from the Met (bus route 14). I was a 20 minute bus ride from downtown or a short walk from all the shops and restaurants on "Hipster Highway".
I would definitely encourage you to stay with Tom, Reba & family. Especially if you're a solo female traveler.
