I felt like I was staying with family. Lynne is exceptionally welcoming, informative, kind, and down to earth. I felt very much at home. The space was clean and tidy, and she even offered use of the washer and dryer. It's hosts like Lynne that make choosing a neighborhood outside of downtown so worth it.
Speaking of the neighborhood, Woodstock is wonderful. Very relaxed vibe, friendly folks, awesome dispensary and grocery shopping in walking distance. The 19 and 71 bus will take you right into downtown and the bus stop isn't even a 5 minute walk. I walked a fair amount through Woodstock at night and never once felt unsafe.
Next time I visit, if Lynne's place is even available, it will be my first choice.
