Chloe is incredibly helpful. And as she has lived in her place over 20 years, she's knows the area very well.
The overriding issue that would keep me from staying there again is the smell of her very sweet and very quiet large dog. I want to be very clear that I am an animal lover and I have had pets my entire life including two dogs now. I understand that pet owners can get very used to the scent of their own home and do not become aware.
I have never had allergy issues from dogs, and I've had several dogs both large and small. But I did experience allergy issues during this visit.
I don't believe there's so much she can do about the situation except use an ionizer on occasion. Because the dog is older, it stays upstairs and sleeps all day and the noise was never an issue. But it's simply that on a scale of 1-10 the dog scent is easily a 10 which kept me from wanting to stay upstairs which is required.
Be aware that there is a maid that comes once a week. She comes at 9am - which does not seem early at all unless you have jet lag issues which I definitely did. The place is absolutely clean. And the bed is one of the most comfortable I have slept in.
The bathroom is perfect, the storage space in the bedroom is exceptional. The bed is perfection.
Communications was quick and clear.
The to get upstairs are incredibly challenging when carrying a larger size bag. I am a strong woman, excellent shape. Getting my back down the stairs was incredibly difficult, and getting the bag up the stairs was a challenge of a 10 (scale 1-10).
