Great People * Good Neighborhood * Cozy Home * Comfy Bed
Maria & Goos (pronounced hose) were lovely hosts! Their home is cozy & inviting, in a quiet neighborhood, near many delicious restaurants, parks & markets. Before I delight in local adventures, let me tell you about the garden, the birds that love to eat berries from the tree outside your room, as you enjoy sitting on your small, but adequate balcony. There is a chance you may enjoy sleeping with the door open to the outside. The bathtub is enormous and the water gets very hot, very quickly. It was such a comfort after many adventures and long walks. Maria & Goos come & go, but are available to chat & make your stay in their home special!!
As I mentioned, the neighborhood is filled with treasures, both hidden and obvious: diversity in restaurants was a nice surprise: Indonesian, Indian, Thai, Brazilian, Greek along side some lovely pub food at Gambrinus, only a few blocks walk. Do try T&C Coffee & Coconuts for some amazing, locally sourced delights. They offer some specific “breakfast all day” options for late risers. Th transportation system is probably not difficult, but I managed to get turned around, regardless. Maria was kind enough to ‘walk me in’ from the Metro the day I arrived, even tho’ it is only a few blocks. Perhaps I was jet lagged. The extra comfy bed was exactly what a weary traveler needed! Your room is complete with a coffee maker, some sweets and extra special with fresh flowers from Maria’s garden. Thank you Maria & Goos for making me feel so at home!!
