Cathy was pleasant to communicate with and was willing to accommodate my request to bring a well-behaved dog, if crated (although the dog didn't end up coming along).
The older home is charming and pleasantly decorated. The process for gaining access was smooth, although there was only one key available and there were supposed to be two. The neighborhood is convenient to downtown and is within walking distance (for some) of a commercial pocket (cafes, barber, Zipcars) and a park.
I would have preferred that the house were cleaner, and that extra linens, toilet paper, etc, were easier to find. I know it's hard to keep up with dust and spiderwebs, but it would have made for a more relaxing stay.
