We like things clean and tidy (ish). I am a corporate traveler so, cleaning is a high standard because we want to be able to feel good about bathrooms and kitchens. You can too.

We have 2 dogs, you don't have to be a dog person to get along but running away usually gets you a running companion. If you have an irrational fear of all dogs, this isn't the place for you. Shared spaces like the main lounge and kitchen you are welcome! Hang out, have dinner (pre-book this additional extra) we are seasoned foodies, you won't be disappointed.
