What a treasure Taizz is! Her house is lovely -- lots of fine details. It's in a great location. I could walk to the river, or to the grocery store, or to any number of restaurants and food carts. It's a quiet, dead-end street, and the yard overflows with figs, plums, raspberries, and who knows what else.

Taizz herself is better than all of that. She's generous and articulate. She's made a place that is deeply welcoming. Her dog is a charmer. Her cat comes and goes as she pleases. I even met her son, who came by to do some lawn work. I felt like one of the family, which is just great.

I can't think of any ways her place could be improved. It's perfect.
