We loved our time at Marcella and Ben’s Casa Bella! The decor is both sophisticated and coordinated, and the layout is simultaneously cozy and open. Marcella and Ben were thoughtful in the little amenities they left behind; we found 6 eggs and two local IPAs in the fridge, as well as ramen, Kind bars, and popcorn in the cabinets should we have ever needed a quick snack, not to mention the little bag of fresh, local coffee left by the coffee machine! My girlfriend really appreciated that the knives are all sharp and of decent quality— if you are into cooking at all, you’ll know that such items can really make or break the food-preparation experience, and she managed to make plenty of meals here. The microwave is high quality, and there a variety of appliances including a crock pot and an immersion blender which have the potential to really help you out depending on what you hope to make.
Overall, the property is beautiful, and the neighborhood is safe. Marcella and Ben are both lovely, and the dog who also lives in the main house is extremely polite and does not lick or jump or run at you if such behaviors frighten you.
The instructions, rules, and guides for the property and surrounding area were extremely helpful and clearly laid out, so definitely take the time to read through them. Additionally, if you enjoy reading, they also provided a nice selection of good reads available as well.
Thank you Marcella and Ben for our getaway; we hope to be back again soon!
