I can't imagine a nicer home-away-from home than Christine's house. I'm looking forward to staying there again. Everything is clean, bright, and thoughtfully laid out. The furniture and decor are comfortable like you would expect in an upscale hotel suite; nothing is quirky or oddly challenging like at my dear old great-auntie's house. Most importantly, my dogs loved loved LOVED the securely fenced yards front and back; they played hide and seek in the back, and watched the world go by out front. Last but not least, Christine is a kind and thoughtful communicator.
