Kenneth was very welcoming in his correspondence. He had an important emergency that he had to take care of, and unfortunately I didn't get a chance to meet him. However, he made plans to make sure that we were being looked after. This was really appreciated. The listing description was accurate. His place is very interesting, but we were surprised to smell burned wood, yet there's no fireplace. Eventually we noticed that some of the artwork incorporated burned wood. Some people will find the smell attractive (almost cottage-like), but we weren't very fond of it. The neighborhood seems safe and has some jewels (Simone's is definitely worth checking out), but I didn't find it as extraordinary as some of the descriptions picture it. I do believe that it's an up-and-coming neighborhood.
We loved being greeted by the cheerful dog at the end of our exhausting days.
