Staying at Ann and Lee's ranked as one of the best host experiences to date -- they are friendly, kind and generous, and the house is comfortable, quiet, well-appointed and and only a few blocks from all the action on Hawthorne street. The exquisite back yard has a koi pond with a lovely gurgling sound that wafted in the window, creating a perfect lullaby. The clawfoot tub was a welcome sight after a day of cycling.
