Michele was a warm, generous host with a great sense of humor. She made us feel right at home even though we were in another country! We were provided with lots of very descriptive directions and helpful information about the area, and useful tips for us California folks to deal with the northern frost. The suite was super cozy and perfectly sized for our needs, was filled with cool, peculiar clocks and fun rock festival posters and looked out on a pretty winter garden. The pantry was generously stocked with basic staples (and Michele even provided vegan options and decaf coffee to fit our diet!). All members of the host household (including the adorable canine friends) were quiet and respected our privacy, but were very friendly. This host and suite are heartily, highly recommended - we absolutely would return - you'll be sad to leave!
