Although the stairs to the garage apartment are located in the host's back yard, Elizabeth, her dogs and kids all gave me and my own pup plenty of privacy as we came and went. She was flexible with my check-in, given I was in town for the early arrival of my first grandchild and anxious to get settled in. She was available for questions and support. It was a sweet little studio. There is no TV, so I streamed on my laptop. The friendly masterplanned neighborhood made daily dog walks a real treat.
