If you are unsure about Airbnb, stay at Sara's and you will be an instant convert! This lovely, huge and spotlessly clean downstairs apartment, with private patio, full kitchen (small fridge and two-burner cooktop), washer and dryer, and all the closet space you might want was the highlight of our trip. Sara was excellent at keeping in touch through texting and e-mail. She greeted us the evening we arrived by bringing us fresh raspberries, yogurt, English muffins, and soy milk. Also in the fridge were cut vegetables and hummus for dipping, a variety of jams (some homemade), oranges, apples, a kiwi, half and half for coffee, a bottle of wine. There was granola in the cupboard and trail mix on the counter. We read through the binder of local information (restaurant menus, etc.) and my husband took some of the walks she suggested. We were walking distance to a grocery, restaurants, and a riverside park where there was a world music festival going on, yet Sara's house is an oasis of calm and quiet. We opened the blinds and the patio door and luxuriated in the garden setting.
