The host was very laid-back, which helped us to feel relaxed. The yard, dog door, dog bed, food and water bowls worked great for our dog. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful, yet an easy walk to restaurants (highly recommend Kim Chee House on 24th), and to shopping. The warm cookies were a nice touch, and we also appreciated the coffee, microwave, creamer, sugar, tea, bottled water, shampoo, etc. There were a lot of nice extras in case we forgot anything. The key code worked flawlessly. No one else was staying in the building at the time, so it was quiet and private.
