Pet friendly. Host is very guest friendly....in a matter of a day or two you'll be bumping into William and his little girl on 2nd Street after dinner and talking like you've known each other a while. Easy walk to lots of restaurants; we stayed a week and didn't repeat until the last night and only because we wanted to. Short walk to the canals, very scenic. Always felt safe. If you want a super quiet place you'll want to be further off of 2nd Street, but it does quiet down later in the evening and we never had a problem.
