I enjoyed my stay in the house and want cordially thank my host Judy for that.

Judy's house is welcoming, very cozy and definitely has personality that - in my case - matched my own. I liked the colorful walls, handmade curtains and patchwork quilt. I absolutely loved the old-fashioned stove that's always warm (your coffee will not get cold if something distracts you after you've made it). The only thing I missed is a full-length mirror:) so, I couldn't see if I was wearing matching shoes :):)

By the third day of my stay I felt like I was home and took such care of the house like I would do of my own. And here, there was a House Book, as I named it, that helped a lot in doing so. You could find answers to most if not all questions that you would've had regarding where to find something, how to operate it, what to pay attention to and when and what to do. Besides, you are provided with a couple of phone numbers of good friends and neighbors who you can rely on in case of emergency.

The house's location is more than good: between SE Division Street and SE Hawthorne Blvd, both - full of cool places: cafes, bakeries, bars, restaurants and fun shops. Also, it takes 20 minutes by bus to get to Downtown.

There is a furry tenant, petite cat Mitten, who is gently friendly and pretty independent unless she wants some attention in the morning and in the evening (before she goes outside for hunting and exploring and after she is back, satisfied and tired).

All in all, it was a pleasurable experience and I am jealous of Judy's future guests:)
