It is a quite, nice and cozy place to stay in. Patti was accommodating as far as check-in time (considering that I was getting off of a red-eye, long haul flight from overseas) and other stuff. She's very hospitable without being intrusive. Maybe unless you are on vacation and want to be able to party in the house at anytime, you'll just enjoy the place as much as you would if she weren't living in the house.
