Jacira is a great host, with a lovely, interesting, and cozy home. As a night owl, our interactions were somewhat limited, but I felt free to do my own thing or have a friendly chat when our paths crossed. If you're shy or cherish privacy, have no worries.
The bedroom I used has a nice breeze and view of the stars at night, and was very quiet, facing a peaceful cul-de-sac. The essentials were quite comfortable: the bed was not too firm or too soft, and linens were well maintained & smooth.
For breakfast, Jacira shared fruits and veg from her garden, fresh-baked bread & a homemade plum preserve, a flake cereal and muesli, and teas and coffee.
It is very much a home, and a bit creaky with age, but it's a restful, clean space with personality. Between the house itself and Jacira, you'll feel you're staying with a reliable old friend.
Smokey can be a bit bitey after too-thorough petting, but this is not unusual for cats. Nobody likes getting overstimulated! Just be gentle and pay attention, because he's otherwise loving, sweet, and a welcoming host.
