John was very kind and communicative from my initial inquiry and throughout the stay. It's not easy to find a place that is pet friendly (with both a cat and a 60# dog) and John was more than willing to host us and even offered to walk my dog if I needed, which was very much appreciated. I did think that the listing could have been more forthcoming about the shared back door as this really is not a private space. The shared back door looks directly into the master bedroom and there were 3-4 people coming and going from the basement and through the door each day. I felt like I had to be fully dressed to walk from the bathroom to the bedroom. Besides that, we really enjoyed the location.
