I have to start this review with a story. Paulette accepted a last minute reservation from me. I had a long day of travel and arrived around 10pm at the train station on a rainy night having no prepared understanding of the surroundings. Paulette offered to collect me at the station and gave me a shirt tour of the town which looked magical at night lit up by twinkling lights. I was exceedingly grateful for both. When I fell into bed exhausted, Paulette had put a hot water bottle under the queen size fluffy down comforter with high thread count white sheets. As an American, I felt utterly spoiled....a hot water bottle! She is an excellent local resource. She guided me through the rest of my stay, really listening to what I wanted, booking taxis and planning trips. We also had some lovely chats. I could sing praises all day but suffice it to say, her superior host status is well earned!
