The tooltip mentions that bringing extra candles would be helpful in flute street. How many?
aside from the thousand it costs to get in, of course.

You can only get 1 Rubbery Hound at a time, but you won't need to make a big journey like the one you're about to embark on. Returning to Flute Street after successfully completing the first trip only costs 10 actions.

Foxfire Candle stubs, I believe. I forget how many, but I don't recall it being a lot.

Congrats on making it to Flute Street! Glad to hear you made it there without wasting a bunch of candles.

One thing worth noting: from what I recall, each stage of the carousel has an option with zero consequences for failure, and no minimum stat requirement. It's not necessarily the best place to level watchful, but it's not the worst either.
I found flute street to be unrewarding financially, fun to explore, and I'm planning on going back there soon as it may be the best source for one particular item I'm after (or it may not - need to compare).

How many candles you need depends on how high your Watchful is. If it's maxed out and you have some decent equipment all the checks will be straightforward, so just the bare minimum of candles will be fine (it may be fine lower than that, I honestly forget how high your Watchful needs to be for absolute 100% success rates). There's even a card or two that can give you progress without consuming candles if I'm not mistaken. Once you reach Flute Street you won't have to make the trip again - you'll be able to head there for just 10 actions without having to bother with the cards.

Unless you're trying to gather the specific items or connections available there I wouldn't call it profitable. The Rubbery Hound is cool though, and you only need to make the journey once. Both the journey and the destination have tons of great lore too.

I didn't bring enough the first time, lost all my progress, and had to start over. The next time I brought 10,000 and had, I think, 2-4 thousand leftover. So: Lots.

I'd say 2500-3000, minimum. More if you can swing it, obv.

Going back just costs some actions. Repeatedly farming Rubbery Hounds entails going there, getting to the end of the carousel, picking up the Hound, and then going back to London to breed the hound before heading back down into Flute Street. All you'll need is the price to pick up the Rubbery Hound.

Candles basically function like Expedition Supplies. Extras are helpful, especially if your Watchful is low, but not absolutely necessary. Though you'll definitely want them for the Rubbery Hound.
