We enjoyed a short two night stay at Ann's place! We found her to be very sweet and we are so thankful for her kindness. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and messaged us each day to check in. Her daughters are friendly and sweet too!
We had some differing expectations of the Airbnb, mainly related to location, clutter that differed from photos, sleep, and numerous guidelines. Most of the guidelines were also posted in writing or print distractingly in numerous locations, detracting from comfort and making us very worried that we were going to make a mistake or accidentally make her unhappy, to the point that we spent a lot of extra time ensuring there no water drops, smudges on the walls or floor, or a hair anywhere, etc. I think it probably makes a big difference to have the futons on tatami rather than hard granite flooring; we're not picky with bedding, but we found the futons thin and woke up with pain in the night and the duration of the following day. One of the nights noise from company upstairs inhibited sleep, and oddly someone briefly entered our room late in the night once we did fall asleep. Despite the difference of what we anticipated, we are very thankful for Ann welcoming us warmly to stay with her for those short two nights and overall reflect back on our trip positively!
Thank you, take care,
