I loved staying at Colleen and Scott's. It exceeded my expectations.
First, for a basement space, it is refreshingly light, airy, warm and spacious, with lots of head room--not claustrophic, stuffy or cold like some basement spaces I've stayed in. Second, Colleen and Scott really thought through what is convenient for travellers. I appreciated the small table close to the door, for putting down your keys or groceries. And the wide bedside table. Also, the 100% cotton sheets (polyester sheets, alas so common, are for the birds!), and the healthy soaps available in the kitchen and bathroom. The fridge is really a good appliance for a small fridge, with lots of space for groceries I would have if I had stayed longer. Third, the space isn't cluttered with unnecessary brick-a-brack, and has the roominess to accommodate yoga or tai chi practice. I love this spacious feel. Everything is clean and neat as a pin. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. A great place to stay. Good job, Colleen and Scott!
