Carol's place truly is a home away from home in the truest sense - from her first communication she was expedient, friendly and accommodating. I arrived very late at night, so she left a few lights on to help me see what I was doing when I got in. She is very thoughtful, and has filled the room with all kind of amenities that I would normally go out and buy, such as coffee, creamers, sugars, soaps, laundry detergent and dryer sheets...she thought of everything I would need on my stay. My two pups loved it as well, and took full advantage of her back patio -- it was nice that there was a pile of leaves they could do their business on since there is no grass on the patio, however, having a great dog park and the largest city forest park just blocks away was amazing!!! With 23rd Street just blocks away, there are endless things to do while staying at her place, without having to actually drive anywhere if you don't want to! I will definitely be looking to stay with Carol again!
