My partner and I had an awesome time. We have been social distancing in our one bedroom apartment since late March and really wanted to rest and relax in a new space during the long weekend early July.
Stephané's place turned out to be the perfect spot! Everything was clean and ready when we came into the house, which we really appreciated given our apprehension about staying some place other than our home during the pandemic.
The decor was *very* chic and sophisticated, with furniture that was both fashionable, inviting, and comfortable. A lot of special, unique vintage touches too (especially the kitchen!) and the home has many of its original touches from the early 1920s.
The backyard was AMAZING and had everything we needed. Tons of lounging space. A perfectly sized modern pool that wasn't too big or too small. A picnic table with a small BBQ grill where we hosted my sister and mother responsibly for some outdoor evening meals. There's a guesthouse in the backyard which had a tenant during our stay (not an Airbnb guest,) but as Stephané had promised the tenant wasn't really present that much other than when we asked him a random question or two about the home (usually by phone, but we had a question about the stove and he came in to check it out and respectfully wore a mask!) The professional who cleans the home was also wonderful and we were able to communicate effectively with her via text when we had a quick question via Google translate (my Spanish is conversational but not fluent.)
Great vibe overall. The home is so lovely and gave us a much needed respite. THANK YOU <3
