A Pleasant Experience on Mt Pleasant!
My family of 4 stayed 4 nights at Barry & Viv's house in March 2013. It was our first time trying out an Airbnb accommodation and we certainly had no regrets. While we were initially attracted to the idea of living right on the waterfront in a designer 70's era house in an upscale neighbourhood, what we really appreciated is feeling warmly warmly welcomed throughout our stay. Despite our delayed arrival past midnight, Barry was all smiles, and when he saw that I had my hands full carrying my sleeping 3-year-old son Andrew, he grabbed our 2 heavy suitcases up the stairs at one go! And in his enthusiasm in greeting him the next morning, Barry dropped his breakfast tray! Viv was very helpful in assisting my wife in kitchen and laundry nitty-gritty, whilst ensuring a high standard of cleanliness and organization in our rooms, bathroom/shower/WC and throughout the large house - no mean feat indeed. She also made sure that we had a more than adequate quantity and quality of breakfast spread, which we all heartily enjoyed while looking out on the joggers, water-skiers and bird life - every morning! When we bade farewell, only Viv was at home, patiently waiting for us to get all packed and ready, and warmly seeing us off despite having errands to run. But Barry had the final say - he left a note on my rental car window for Andrew, saying that the next time we were back, he was guaranteed a piggy-back ride on 'Gargantua'! (Barry's big..) It'll be hard to think of anything to fault Barry and Viv on, and indeed, I can't think of any. A most pleasant stay indeed on Mt Pleasant!
