Our stay with Dennis was great. She had a lot of things going on that morning, but still agreed to let us drop off our things a bit early. I don't know why people say that her rules are overbearing, I thought that they were totally reasonable. Just have respect for the fact that it's someone else's space and leave things clean for everyone else and you will have no problems. Dennis provided great recommendations as far as how to navigate around the city and where to get food in the neighborhood. We loved just walking around getting a feel for our surroundings. Dennis made us feel at home and during our short stay, we spent hours talking about careers, travels, TV shows, and movies. It was a great time. Her cat Shorty is a great hostess as well. She's very sweet and loves attention.
