Other things to note Your flat is a garden view, basement apartment in our home. The ceiling height is 6'1” in part of the suite so not recommended for very tall people. We live in the rest of the home, so you may hear our general comings and goings, however your space is totally separate and completely private. We are an empty nest couple so no need to worry about late night partying. We live on the upper levels so you may occasionally hear footsteps.
We have 2 dogs, a friendly, goofy Golden Retriever and a cute as a bug Ganaraska . You may meet them in the back yard occasionally.
Arrival and check out times are posted, however if you have a special request we will always do our best to accommodate it.
There is one point of entry to this private unit and one emergency exit in bedroom with push out emergency safety window.
