I was quite happy with the house and location, and found host Shawn to be very prompt with communication. I misunderstood the backyard to be fully fenced, but may have simply misinterpreted “private” to mean “fenced and secure”, simply because pets are welcome. I should have requested clarification well in advance of arriving, because both my dog and I would have been much happier had she been able to go outdoors without requiring a leash. Minor concern, but one that pet owners should take into consideration when booking.
