The location was perfect! The canals were lovely and being just two blocks from the beach was very convenient. Our hosts were very understanding to our particular needs. Our adult sons took to their cats immediately and commented that they would definitely stay at Max's place, were they ever in the area again.

We were a bit concerned that the back door was left open all night for the cats to go in and out, as opposed to having a cat door. We tend to be more security minded. While shoes are asked to be removed while inside, the carpets are already quite dirty. This could be a landlord issue - not sure. The top blanket on the bed we slept in needed to be washed before we came, or just left off the bed.

We do hope that we did not encroach on the family too much as we definitely took over their cozy home. Also hope we didn't interrupt the shower schedule and make them late for work! All in all, it certainly met our needs, and our boys felt comfortable staying, which was the most important thing of all! Thank you!
