Lisa is the best host I've ever experienced with Airbnb. From my arrival until my departure, she made sure I had everything I needed. She provided more than I expected, in the way of fruit, snacks, coffee, teas, yogurt, water, and even beer! The space was super comfortable and clean. The A/C was cold (very important as it was in the 90's during the day!). Arriving late afternoon, I just wanted to buy ready-made dinner from the local supermarket, which would have been a bus ride to get to. Lisa generously offered to let me use her personal car! As I already said, she is a very gracious and delightful host! She was available for conversation at times, but also gave me personal space. Her patio was a beautiful and quiet place to sit and drink coffee or have a glass of wine. If you like walking, there are numerous interesting places to walk to, but you definitely have to like walking! There is a beautiful park - Mt. Tabor Park - about 4 blocks away. You can walk or run there, but I hope you like steep hills! The Hawthorne district (retail and restaurants) is very interesting and entertaining. The bus service was about 4-5 blocks away and was reliable and affordable. Getting downtown takes less than 30 minutes. It was the first time I stayed on the Southeast side, but I would definitely stay here again, and hopefully at Lisa's place!
