Our stay here felt like a perfect mix of staying with a family friend and staying at a high end hotel. Cynthia's home is as comfortable as it is beautiful (it has tons of great art pieces), and it's filled with anything you can imagine to make your stay more comfortable: single use toiletries like you'd get at a 4 or 5 star hotel, espresso (of which we made frequent use), breakfast treats, a stocked refrigerator, and the list could go on. Cynthia gave us a fantastic tour of the neighborhood and her tips on the local spots to eat and shop, even introducing us to the nearby shop owner who greeted us like friends throughout our stay. We really could write volumes about how great our stay was, but hopefully the brief recap is enough to convince others to book!
