The room has a twin bed with a new European pillow-top mattress, A/C, a mini-fridge, and optional full-size futon (ON FLOOR) for two guests. NO SMOKERS ACCEPTED NO PERFUME AT ALL NO EXCEPTIONS Thank you This is a bright room with three windows and you will have the morning sun streaming in from the east. It's a very comfortable and quiet room on the second floor of my house. The twin bed is dreamy to sleep on and if there are two of you, you will have a super-comfortable 8" 100% cotton futon ON THE FLOOR - NO FRAME. The room is a bit tight when the futon is rolled out - just want you to be aware of that. The sheets on the bed and futon are 100% organic cotton which means they are not treated with chemicals to keep them from wrinkling. Therefore, they will have wrinkles! There is a window air conditioner in your room. The air conditioner is generally in the window from June to October only. There are three windows in the room that open to provide fresh air when you want it. Note: there is NO air conditioning in the bathroom but there is a fan!

They have a pick up and drop off service and if I'm here, I'd be happy to give you a ride. Please note: we have five CATS who live outdoors. Two of them do come in the house to sleep on the sofa so be aware that the living room furniture definitely contains some cat dander. They don’t go upstairs. Also note: I am a piano and flute teacher and have students on Saturday mornings beginning at 8:30. The studio is directly below the guest room. If this is a problem for you, I suggest checking out other places. If you're an early riser or a sound sleeper, don't hesitate to book with us! Another note: I don't provide breakfast but a two minute walk will take you to Bagelmaster where you can enjoy a full menu of breakfast meals. You can also keep your own food in the mini fridge in your room. IF YOU ARE A SMOKER OR WEAR PERFUME PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A BOOKING AT OUR HOUSE. Thank you
