Amazing experience! Christine is an above an beyond type host, and we felt like friends in her home! She is super accommodating, super friendly, and she has a wealth of knowledge of the area! Some of her suggestions were highlights of our trip! You definitely need to be an animal lover if you want to stay here, the rats are super cute and Christine keeps the home very clean, but there is no hiding that there are animals. We personally really enjoyed the pets, and again, Christine knows everything there is to know about them, so it was a cool learning experience as well! If we are back in the area we will absolutely stay with Christine again!
