The neighborhood was quaint, quiet, and out of the way. It was the peaceful atmosphere I was expecting, and the house was exactly as depicted in the pictures. They provided us with wine and food, basically a stocked supply of snacks and beverages. Dave and Dennise were very friendly in welcoming us, and more than happy to tell us about the surrounding sights.
What I thought was most generous was the willingness to house us despite extenuating circumstances that breached our original agreement. They could have sent us all packing, but they did not, a gracious action I can't properly express gratitude for.
The only issue we had with the stay came late the first night. We had just arrived back, after a night in New Port and were trying to be quite. We may have failed in that, but we frankly don't know. Two friends tried to sneak out to have a cigarette, and were caught on the way up the stairs to the roof. But rather than simply being told off, as we were told not to smoke, they were immediately greeted with aggression, accused of doing drugs, and threatened to have the police called on them. When my friend Mike tried to diffuse the situation, rather than being thanked, was berated for using strong language. Understandably this made the rest of our stay at the house tense. It felt unwelcoming after this transaction, but we were never asked to leave, so we carried out the rest of our stay. Probably would not come back, which is a shame, because it was an otherwise lovely stay; but I don't think they would accept us back even if we wanted to be.
