Robert made us feel welcome by asking if we had any special requests or needs well in advance of our arrival. He responded to emails almost immediately and courteously.

When we arrived, the house was totally clean, and Robert had left some basic staples, including coffee, sugar, chips, salsa and chocolates, for our enjoyment. He responded quickly to a question or two that we had during our stay.

The house was perfect for our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with high quality cookware and a high end gas range and oven, all of which we used to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. The beds are very comfortable, and the upstairs master bathroom is awesome! Our grown children used and enjoyed the hot tub several evenings.

The Hyde Park neighborhood is quiet, conveniently located and architecturally interesting. The walk to Quacks, the local bakery, and to the organic grocery across from it, is delightful, as one passes bungalow after bungalow, many of which were built more than 50 years ago but have been expanded and updated.

We delighted in sitting on the swinging bench on the front porch and generally felt totally comfortable and at home in Robert's wonderful property. We hope to return.
