Julia is a premiere host with a lovely home! She is experienced, generous, and attentive down to smallest detail. She has lots of labels and helpful little notes about to make your stay smooth and easy. Her dog Snuggles is a a sweet, playful, and funny little fluff moppet who got along great with my little dog not long after we arrived, though she was timid at first. I stayed in the 2nd floor bedroom at Julia's townhouse. At times I heard footsteps above or activity in the kitchen below. But that is expected in a shared home or in a multi-level unit in a multi-family dwelling/row house. No complaint here. I'm not a light sleeper, but I tried to be quiet and mindful of my own noise level when I was up late, and it wasn't easy with hardwood floors and stairs and trips to the bathroom down the hall. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. She has great view. I enjoyed bird watching. There was a lot flight traffic above, but I never noticed it inside. Overall it was a wonderful stay!
