We had a wonderful stay at Jessica and Puk's guest house. It's attached to their main house, but it has a completely separate keyed entry and is very private.

My wife and I and our 9-year-old son visited family a couple of miles away, and we saved at least half of what we would have spent at a hotel - probably more, since we had a kitchen and made all our own breakfasts. Bottom line - even my 9-year-old liked it better than a hotel and thinks we should stay here again next time we visit - my wife and I agree.

Our hosts were very gracious - I got the impression that if I needed anything, Jessica would rush out and get it for me.

The guest house itself was very clean and nicely furnished. You enter into the kitchen and go up a small flight of stairs to reach the bedroom/living area. This area is a big, open room with a wood floor and lots of windows (there is a futon that works as a second bed - perfect for a kid). There is a big closet along one wall with huge mirrors - it would make a great room for private yoga lessons. The room also has a very nice, flat-screen TV (about 50") with DirecTV (including HD). The Wifi also worked great.

The neighborhood was amazingly quiet and pleasant. Sleeping with open windows was a peaceful joy. This is an area I would be happy to live. I ran every morning during my stay, and each time, I encountered a few friendly hellos.

The house is on a pretty steep hill, so make sure you know how to park properly with your wheels turned to the curb. Also, this might not be a good choice for you if struggle walking up a hill or stairs.

All in all, our stay was great, and I expect we will stay with Jessica and Puk next time we are in town.
