The Willow Suite is an older home with the charm and character that comes with it. The original hardwood floors creak and the windows can be drafty in colder months. Central air and heat serve both apartments in the house and is a shared system. The living room and bedrooms have window units that provide supplemental heating and cooling. Please do not adjust the floor vents. If you need temperature changes, just reach out and we can adjust the system remotely. Ridgedale is a historic neighborhood in transition. It has genuine character and a strong sense of community, but guests looking for a polished or upscale streetscape may find it doesn't quite match that expectation. We love its authenticity, and we want you to arrive with an accurate picture of the area. The house has two apartments with separate entrances. You will not share interior space with other guests. Please be mindful of noise — the other unit may be occupied, and pets are welcome on both sides, so you may have neighbors of the four-legged variety as well. Two off-street parking spaces are available via the alley behind the house. Additional street parking is available along Chamberlain Avenue around the corner. Well-behaved dogs are welcome at no additional fee. We ask that you follow a few simple rules so that the experience is good for everyone — including guests on the other side of the house, who may or may not also have a pet with them. Please keep your dog leashed whenever outside on the property. There is no fenced yard, but two small parks are within a few blocks and there is open green space on the adjacent lot. If you leave your dog alone in the unit, it must be crated. This is a firm requirement — an anxious dog in an unfamiliar space is the most common source of noise complaints in pet-friendly rentals, and we have guests next door. Pet blankets are provided in the living room on the blanket holder. Please use them to cover the furniture when your dog is on the couch. We use a privacy-safe noise monitoring device (decibel detection only — no audio recording) in the storage room between the two units. If sustained noise is detected, we will reach out to you directly and expect a prompt response. Continued disturbance may result in fees or cancellation without refund. Maximum 2 pets per booking. Dogs and cats are welcome; other small caged or contained animals are fine — just let us know in advance. No reptiles or exotic animals, please. Guests are responsible for any damage or additional cleaning caused by their pet. There is no laundry access for standard stays. Accommodations can be arranged for longer visits. Just ask. Smoking, house parties, and loud gatherings are not permitted on the property. Unregistered pets are not permitted — if you’re bringing an animal, please let us know at booking. At the back of the house there is a security camera and motion light that overlooks the parking area. The Willow Suite sits on a main arterial road and some street noise can be noticeable. Minimum age to book is 25 years old.
