Edward communicated well before and during the visit. Be sure you're cool with animals. I am, and enjoyed his , cat, 2 small dogs, and guinea pigs. He was very willing to let me use his kitchen and make coffee each morning, use his cream/sugar too. It is a quiet neighborhood and not too far from anything you might want to do.. It was affordable, fine for all my needs, not fancy, and a good value for the area.
