Helen is great. Always communicates well and fast via text. She really cares about providing a good clean place. I felt at home.
The other people staying in the other room (at different times while I was there) were both very quiet. I barely saw them. We did share the bathroom between our rooms, so you don't get your own bathroom. But, again, they were always gone, it was hardly a problem.
Lily the cat is adorable.
The house is on the far side of West Salem, so you'll always be driving in and across the bridge. Not the end of the world, but not walking distance to downtown. Bus route nearby.
The room was quiet and secure (she gives you a key to the door, which is nice, though I ended up just not even using it, since I felt so comfortable.)
The kitchen is clean, and it's totally cool to come down and fix food. Sometimes Helen is hanging out on the couch watching tv, but she's fine with folks coming down. I think she actually likes having people around.
I'd stay here again.
