Jon's place is nothing short of spectacular! Every detail of design and decor is well crafted and well thought out--very well executed! Upon arrival, Jon actually met me at the metro station that is only a 2 minute walk away. This was after sending detailed, timely, and very thorough instructions for how to arrive either by Metro or taxi.
Upon arrival, the place was elegantly designed, cozy, and very welcoming. I took pictures of his place so I could always reflect on the marvel that is Jon's. Upon entering my room, the was champagne, biscuits, and an elegantly typed welcome letter detailing everything I needed to know. He included a map, WiFi password, and other minor but important details. I immediately felt cozy. He sat with me for at least 30 minutes to help me get a layout of the city, including popular spots, neighborhoods, historical districts and museums, etc.
He even had a plush white bathrobe ready for me!! I truly felt like a king and totally humbled by his extraordinary hospitality.
And I have to mention the deliciously delightful breakfast prepared for me each morning of my stay. Totally over the top treatment. Especially considering he still went to work and was able to pull all this off.
The 2 Greyhounds and cat are all very loveable, well-mannered, and a pleasure to be around.
I totally recommend and advise Jon's place 100 times over! My first international trip to celebrate my 36th birthday was a trip for the ages that I'll never forget. And I'm ecstatic Jon is a part of that memory.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
