Miriam is a warm, gracious host who embraced my having come with a puppy in tow (rare and precious support!), going out of her way to make sure I was not nervous about having him with me. Her home is lovely and easy to find, and she was completely relaxed about my delayed arrival. The bedroom is comfortable and well equipped, with sweet touches; the bathroom is easy to use and the shower is hot; and I loved the little coffee machine. Dog-friendly help makes it particularly special, but certainly comfortable for any guest.
