Come for the location and upscale, cozy decor, stay for the dog! Kate's home is on a quiet, idyllic street just steps away from the Wallingsford area of shops and restaurants. The room is in the finished basement located away from the family areas, although you will enter the main front door and walk through a small area of the house to get to the basement. The basement (and house in general) is beautifully decorated and quiet. Kate was responsive and helpful. She also offered a late checkout for me that day, due to my last minute change in needs (which I never expect from a host due to thier cleaning and scheduling needs, but it's very nice when its an option and such a welcome bonus!!!). The real bonus is the gorgeous dog, Monte. He is an absolute dream! Win win.
