Else-Marie was so kind and welcoming - my flight was delayed due to weather and I arrived very late. The bed was comfortable, just right, not a hard futon like some and not horribly squishy. Thankfully they use unscented laundry detergent. It's quiet at night and I slept well. The house has such a cool decor- full of masks and awesome art. And then there's Matteo. Warning.. he's super quiet and adorable, he will capture your heart. He greets you when you come home and winds around your legs in the morning or if he's trying to get you to give him shrimp (quietly, he is such a quiet cat! It's almost eerie - he meowed like two times in the 10 days that I stayed).
