NOTE: The house has four stories—I live in an apartment on the bottom floor that has a separate entrance, at the back of the house. You may encounter me and my mini-labradoodle, Dolly, when I am entering and leaving and I occasionally enter the garage to store supplies and linens. Unless I am out-of-town, I am usually available on short notice. I am always available by messaging through the booking website.
