We coordinated an early arrival and Gloria was very accommodating to our request. In her absence, Henry welcomed us to their home and oriented us to the place. He thoughtfully cautioned us about not petting one of the dogs, so that turned out not to be an issue. The protocol for the shared bathroom worked well (closed = occupied), although the door when closed did not latch. Henry showed us the "trick" for the shower head, and it worked smoothly for us.
The vintage home was charming although it did show its age. The shelves, tables and counters were somewhat more cluttered than the pristine appearance in the photos. In the bedroom, the multiple-outlet extension cord and the floor fan were definitely helpful. The twin beds were comfortable, and the extra pillows were a bonus.
When parking on the street became an issue, Henry offered to shuttle a car in the driveway to help out. Having four or five other adults in the place would normally be an issue, but everyone made us feel welcome.
