Maurice's place is a pet friendly but surprisingly very clean and odor-free. He asks his guests to take shoes off in the house which I am quite used to do, I am Japanese, we loved his house.
There is a great grocery store right next to Maurice's place. The store has cold and hot buffet all day, breakfast to dinner. With a few more steps, there is a Piedmont Anehue with many restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques etc.
