My stay in Ebet’s home was truly the most enjoyable, serene and restful escape from the stresses of everyday live. The house is gracious and airy with timeless decor that thoughtful and elegant without being pretentious. From the moment I entered the arched doorway and ascended a short flight of stairs, I was transported into a little hillside oasis with birds chirping, tranquil breezes wafting through tall open windows, and lush vegetation, dripping with brightly colored blooms. I felt like I was walking into a dream scene, and was immediately set at ease. Ebet is the consummate host. She is available, yet never intrusive and our conversations were fascinating as she is one of the most well read, cultured persons I have encountered, with her vast knowledge of music, world history, art, literature, architecture and fabulous neighborhood anecdotes. The room was perfect in every way, quiet and thoughtfully decorated in warm hues. The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept better than I have in years. So much so that I added an additional night. I slept with an open window and drifted off to the sounds of rusting leaves and the gentle gurgling of a garden fountain. The private bathroom is comfortable, airy and stylish. Ebet’s home is immaculate and welcoming. She is lovely. We sipped coffee together in the morning and I enjoyed eating breakfast on the outside terrace where filtered sunlight warmed my skin and the scent of tropical flowers perfumed the air. I will absolutely return with great pleasure. A true gem.
