Sharon was an absolutely spectacular host. From check in to check out, she was there for me and my travel companion at the drop of a hat (even when I got food poisoning at midnight). The room is lovely and as described. Has many travel brochures and information about how to access attractions, though most are within a ten minute walking distance. The flat is also on a lovely block with tons of good shops and restaurants. She also provides free lunch from her restaurant (which is wonderful) and makes you as comfortable as possible. When I did get food poisoning on the last night of our stay (and no, it wasn’t from the sushi at her restaurant) she was completely understanding and nothing but uplifting and helpful. She made arrangements for me to have the room until 5pm the next day even though we were meant to check out at 11am. She brought me water, rice, oatcakes, fruit, tea, and even took time out of her workday to go to the store to buy me medication for that day and the days after. She was also very accommodating in concerns of my allergies (which are very rare, specific, and common ingredients in medicines). She also did research about what to do in my situation through the night and day as I was sick, giving me pointers and the best chance at a speedy recovery possible. Best of all, I didn’t have to ask for any of this.
Can-do, can-handle, and ready-to-help is a part of her work ethic. All in all, Sharon is a spectacular host that you shouldn’t think twice about staying with — she will be there for you and her home is absolutely wonderful. But Max and Lizzie (her cats) are also a pretty cute plus too ;)
Thank you again, Sharon!!!
