Very happy with our stay with Gilbert. He was extremely genial, waiting for us to arrive and calling to us with a big smile from the window of his gorgeous luxury condo right by a massive beautiful park. I have never felt so welcomed by a host, despite the language barrier (no english). I felt like I was visiting an uncle :-)
He toured us through the door lock/key, our room, the complimentary water bottles and candy, bathroom, lights, etc in a very caring manner, demonstrating each item for us so we could understand. The room itself is small, not much more than a bed, but the bed was big and comfy with clean linens. The room looks fancy with a chandelier, fireplace and stone mantle, and decorative wall trim. It is connected to the shower and sinks, which are shared, but the toilet is in another separate room, which I found inconvenient, especially at night to have to get fully dressed to go to the bathroom!
In the morning, Gilbert prepared a thoughtful little breakfast in his kitchen with breads, butter, a variety of fruit jams, coffee, and tea. Totally above and beyond my expectations. He showed us the items, asked if we had everything we needed (through google translate) and then left us in privacy.
Overall I was pleased with the stay and Gilbert is the best kind of host.
