Lovely garden escape in the middle of the city that is close to everything! This was a working family trip, but we felt like we were able to “get away.” We brought our cane corso puppy and our mini schnauzer and they were able to run freely within the premises without me having to worry about the fence being too low. However, if your canine is a jumper, you will need to use a leash since certain parts of the fence were about 3 ft high. We stayed when the weather was in the mid 90’s, but there was so much shade and a slight breeze that staying outside was not a problem.
The A/C inside also worked well. Sleeping arrangements were decent. The mattress was a little on the firm side for me, but it worked well for my husband. The pull out sofa was uneven, but it worked out well for my teen-aged daughter. Living quarters were spacious with plenty of room to prepare and share meals. If you have more than two in your family, bring plates and utensils. Bring your spices if you like to barbecue and cook. Howard is a great host. He is very responsive and helpful. If you need anything, he is available. The privacy is also good if you’re worried about being in someone’s backyard. He was no where to be seen except for when he was putting together the brand new egg-shaped barbecue which was only for a few minutes. We are happy to have found this place and plan to use this for another working family “get away” during the school year when we need to escape.
