We did not have the pleasure of meeting Eliot. Brooke was fantastic. Made us feel welcome but wasn't hovering. The place was just as described - quiet, clean, comfortable. The porch swing on the covered deck was the perfect spot to wait out a thunderstorm. The back yard is very private. Wonderful restaurants and the City Park with fantastic art museum are within walking distance. Brooke was very helpful making suggestions for places to eat, where to park, taking public transportation, etc. Excellent mini vacation for us.
