Ashley's pets were a joy to be around, except for when I found flea's jumping on my bed cover and on one of the bath towels where the kitty sleeps. I left a day early because I didn't feel like I could relax on my 3 night vacation during Thanksgiving. This is a very busy household, so if you don't mind people talking loudly on the phone or visiting with friends, then this would be just fine. I, however, like to read and have some quiet time while on a trip. Other than that, the house was very cute. Remember, no coffee, bring your own.
