Pete is very communicative. He greeted us warmly and oriented us to the neighborhood (which is very lovely.) Some breakfast goodies were provided, which helped our 18 month old feel sated early in the morning so we didn't have to rush to leave for breakfast out. Just an fyi, the ad notes it is just a kitchenette, and it really is, small with the necessities hot plate, microwave, sink. We'd stay again!
