Gerard's place is great -- everything is brand new and spotless.
There are some really thoughtful touches: nice shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom; milk and butter left in the fridge; Barry's tea and mini cereal boxes in the cupboard; an adapter plug left out in case visitors from abroad need to use it ... the hosts have thought of everything.
The house is warm and cosy and the beds are very comfortable. Overall -- excellent place. Thanks a million!
