On what was a difficult day for me personally (our beautiful little dog Bella graduated from her time here on Earth), the Monty's Hideaway ended up being a sanctuary of solace, warmth, and protection. There was a cold front rolling through the city on the night of my stay, which only heightened the sense of being cocooned inside a warm, safe place, sheltered from the storm, and the troubles I faced that day. Thank you Rebecca and Dermot for the warm hospitality you showed me, and for the lovely personal touches and inclusions.
