Incredible!!! Michel and Jude are wonderful people who I found to be generous, warm, open and far exceeding what would have been required for a great stay. As for the place, it's like your own apartment in the middle of an urban park, but then somehow just a few blocks from "civilization"...they've truly made an oasis in the middle of Byron. As they mention in their listing, given the environment you may come across "life" in the form of bugs etc., mostly outside but a very few inside...typically if you leave food out...that said, the place is very well insulated, new screens throughout, so I suppose if you kept everything locked up you could quarantine yourself, but I didn't and met a few friendly ants who enjoyed the honey I dropped on the counter. If learning about permaculture, plant life, local birds, etc is of interest to you, it would be very difficult not to enjoy this beautiful space...Jude and Michel were very generous with their time and knowledge, however, if more detached/ultra private experiences are your thing (high end hotel etc), I think it may prove to be a lose lose. For me, this was the most unique AirBnB I've ever stayed at, I loved it and the whole experience simply felt like a big hug.
