Chalu's place is literally like a home that has been converted into a boarding house. Everything was very clean & there were fruit & snacks to help yourself to. Communications & access were easy, suburb is completely residential but very easy & close to everything with a car. The dogs were both pros & cons, they are ridiculously cute & friendly & have their own section of the house; but every night we were there, there was some barking episode in the middle of the night waking us up. Chalu warns us about this, but still it is something to keep in mind.
