We picked Gladys place because of three key things 1. pets allowed 2. private single family home with off street parking and 3. location to convention center. The host had people working in the yard and we were forced to move our vehicle 4 times in 1 day due to 2 hour street parking. The yard was not secure for our 2 dogs because someone had access to open the electric gate and did while our dogs were in yard. They thankfully did not escape but we did not feel comfortable leaving them out there for the remaining 3 days of our stay. The futon did not function so if you are planning to have more than 2 people I would make sure it is back in working order. Overall the house was in a good location for the convention center and was well stocked with kitchen things (we did not cook however). Gladys did eventually respond to our concerns but it was after 2 days and too upsetting mostly because of the dogs safety.
