Hutch was a very accommodating host. He was flexible on check-in/out times, notified us of cold weather, allowed us to turn up the heat to stay warm, and all instructions were simple and clear. Hutch is also right about the neighborhood; we walked our dog several times a day (including after dark), and while being aware of your surroundings is always a good idea, we never had any reason to feel unsafe. Many neighbors said hello and gave us compliments on our adorable dog :)
For those sensitive to the normal noises of a busy neighborhood, bring earplugs or white noise and sleep in the bedroom further from the street. I did both and slept great.
