Our host was super accommodating, responsive and helpful. The house is cozy, comfortable and a fantastic location (university, store, downtown). We stayed for a few weeks and it really became a home away from home. The shower is awesome! A little train noise in the late evening but with earplugs was not a problem at ok and I am normally very sensitive to sound/light sleeper. Shaun kept the snow scooped for safety. Would definitely stay again.
