Col's house was very neat and tidy, and the room where she had our kids stay was great as it was full of children's books and toys. We were pleasantly surprised at first because it was so nice to have this space for our kids to play. There is also a very nice private garden area where we could relax and have a glass of wine. Close to cute beach and shopping areas, and Col was very helpful in giving us ideas of where to eat dinner. However, the next morning we were a bit unsettled as Col received a phone call and was walking all around the house while on the phone talking quite loudly - we didn't feel as though we had our own space at all. She then proceeded to start stripping the sheets off the beds while we were still in the rooms! I was quite horrified that a host would begin "cleaning up" after us while we were still there. She asked my children to clean up the toys in the playroom, which I also thought was inappropriate. I am quite happy to ask my own children to clean up the toys, but to have a host ask them to do it was overstepping in my opinion and made all of us feel uncomfortable. She also asked my older teens to leave the room so she could get the sheets off the bed and start cleaning up in there. By the end we felt very unwelcome and like we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Started out as a nice reprieve but ended up feeling like we were overstaying our welcome with uptight in-laws....glad we only stayed one night.
