Kate's house has a number of really nice features, including an excellent gas stove if you want to cook, a quiet backyard to relax in, a large shower with multiple shower heads, and a comfortable bed with really good quality pillows. We stayed in the front room, which is lovely but faces on to a street with traffic. It wasn't unacceptable loud, but it wasn't silent, either. The upstairs also contains a room with a variety of breakfast and snack items, a water cooler, coffee, tea, etc. There a few nice parks in quite nearby and the residential neighborhood is lovely to walk through, so we chose to go on several walks including to dinner in Woodstock (about 15 minutes).
