We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Vesta. Smart, funny, engaging, wide-ranging conversation when we wanted it, privacy when we wanted it, good strong coffee when we wanted it. Fabulously comfortable bed and fluffy towels -- a very comfortable visit all around. Wish we had scheduled more time to just relax at home on the deck or next to the pool. Quiet, private, and a pleasant hilltop view of the city. Pet-friendly lodging is always a welcome find, but we especially appreciated the added benefit of the huge fenced yard. In a part of the world where so many cars go so fast, it was a relief to be able to let our girl out out the door and know she was safe. And Princess (Vesta's Dobie), don't worry -- if you're reading this, we know you are still in charge of the entire operation! :)
