This feels like the Airbnb of old, with the warmth of a real home rather than a commercial venture with decor out of a catalog. Clean is right, you walk in and get a whiff of freshly laundered linen, and everything is spotless. The large bathroom - with a tub, shower and window - is a real treat. The living space, which gets beautiful sun, is calm and restful, with the rustle of leaves from the trees right outside the window.
We stayed a week, we could have happily stayed a month. Next time we’ll come with less luggage so we don’t have to haul it up the stairs. The Palestinian brothers who run the cafe downstairs make great pizza, and are wonderful to talk to. (Tip: our favourite was the Caprese)
Joseph was the most communicative host we’ve ever been in touch with. Prompt, flexible, and spirited.
Everything works perfectly: the heating, the kitchen gadgets, the shower…which is great whether you’re on holiday or working remotely. You can have lift off from the second you arrive without wasting any energy on troubleshooting stuff. We’re old enough to also appreciate the great mattress after terrible ones recently.
If the lockbox was on the premises, we’d have loved that, given we had a lot of luggage. But the bike ride/walk to pick up the keys is simple and Joseph was available to unlock the sharebox remotely.
Thanks, we’ll be back (after listening to your CD!) :)
