Home was clean and well kept. There were nice extras, such as cotton sheets with extra fine thread count that felt luxurious, lots of prints on the wall, and a private backyard with multiple levels filled with plants. Ann-Marie was extremely helpful and fun to talk with. She gave me many good ideas of places to go, and was accommodating when I asked to use a pillow for the car so I could see over the dash, etc.
If driving, finding a parking space can be a challenge, would be good to get advice when they give you directions to their home on where to park. Parking in their driveway is a no-no.
I felt a little put off by the rigidity of the rules. Shoes off as soon as you enter the home. I was reminded repeatedly to make sure I locked the door every time I went in or out, even tho I had been, similar for lites on and off, etc. Felt a little ocd like going to a relative's home where you weren't supposed to touch anything and they resented your intrusion into their space.
Also I stayed in the downstairs bedroom which was space converted from an open porch. Just inches from my narrow bedroom front door was a large screen tv that emeric liked to watch in the evenings. I found it disconcerting to open the bedroom door with emeric a few feet away facing me. Not the most desirable layout.
But overall they were charming, interesting hosts who are worldwide travelers themselves, a pleasure to talk with and quick to offer helpful advice.
