Tucked away at the end of a cul de sac in a surprisingly quiet neighborhood, given the proximity to thoroughfares, is Julie's basement apartment. This two-bedroom has very high ceilings and is very well-appointed. The coffee and tea paraphernalia impressed me. I was able to try out pour-over and french-presse options. The kitchen has everything you could need. The compost and recycling set up promotes health for the planet. The all cotton organic sheets gave me a very comfortable rest on comfortable beds. I appreciated the availability of the washer. The host expects the collaboration of the guest in starting the washer and the dishwasher before departure. I appreciated the option to pick up my luggage from the host's back deck before my red-eye flight home at midnight. It is important to note that the host does not allow anyone to sleep on the couch.
