Carolyn is a lovely host, very caring and helpful. She is readily available through texting or whatever means you use. The house is very appealing and homey with lots of nice touches for guests, a great shower and a fine working kitchen. The beds are comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet and very accessible to downtown. Dogs are welcome, and there is a superb dog park about a mile away. There is also a fenced back yard. The house works best for one dog owner at a time if you want your dog with you in your bedroom while you sleep. The second bedroom (carpeted) and living room, however, are off limits to dogs due to concerns about carpet cleaning issues.
