Our stay with Rich was mixed, but in the end, we had a good time. His home is great, and the master bedroom is the nicest we've every stayed in. His dogs are very sweet, and a joy to be around. The kitchen has everything - this is a big space. The area is incredibly quiet, and we slept like we were in some cabin in the mountains.
If you're not a dog lover, this isn't your place. There's the smell of dog in the upstairs (which you get used to after a bit), and dog hair abounds on the wood floors. The dogs stay upstairs, however, so the master bedroom is clean of any scent or hair.
Rich wasn't in town for our stay, so check ahead of time if he'll be there. The parking at the top was very difficult to find in the dark (these are steep, twisting, narrow streets), while the street parking at the bottom was straight forward. It truly is 60 stairs up to the front door from the street, and though the dogs will be barking at the gate by the street, they're extremely friendly (one's a bit shy at first), and don't bite.
