This big, old house has a lot of character. We loved all the books, and we loved all the plants both inside and around the house- please note that spiders also love them. Kim was very friendly and did whatever she could to make sure we were comfortable. There's been record heat this summer, and with no air conditioning, the upstairs bedrooms did get a bit warm. But Kim was able to supply us with fans and did whatever she could to help keep us cool. Bolt was fun to play with, too. Overall, a great experience.
