Ellen is a delightful host and Ben is great. They also welcomed our precious dog warmly. Although it was an emotional time for me and we had little time to visit with our host, we hope to return in the future. The apartment was supplied with just about everything you could think of that you might need along with a thorough overview of all that was there, what was available, how to use what was there, places to go and things to do. A simply lovely place which offered a warm respite for me and my companion when one was sorely needed. I highly recommend at the risk of making future availability to us more difficult. :)
