Gary aims to please. We appreciated being able to check in early to rest before a late night show we planned to attend the date of our arrival. He asked if we were familiar with the area and made several suggestions regarding things to do and places to eat. Because the weather had been unusually warm before our arrival, Gary had opened some windows, but it was still warm so we requested that Gary bring us a fan (which he did). There are no screens on the windows, so because we left the windows open the first evening, we ended up with 3 uninvited flying guests with us in our room. A lamp in the room attracted them, so we were able to capture them and release them outdoors after closing the windows. Gary was also quick to produce an iron and ironing board upon request. The day we were leaving he called and offered to bring coffee to us and we chatted some more.

The listing indicated 'entire home/apartment', so I was a bit surprised when it was a room on the walk-out level of Gary's home, but it was a large room and was very comfortable with a walk-in closet and large bathroom. Two whole sides of the unit are windows, and the view was great (picture on the listing is obviously taken from the door of the unit). The GPS app on my phone successfully directed us to Gary's home in the Rockridge neighborhood which felt very safe. The highway that shows in the picture is a high traffic highway, so though the neighborhood itself was quiet, there was considerable road noise from the highway below, but it was not city noise (horns, etc.), so it was not a problem.

It was a great place to stay ...
