Donna was a divine host in every possible way; From her swift response to granting a month-long stay, her flexibility as our dates changed, and her kindness during the check-out experience.
Communication before check-in was friendly and easy. The space itself is lovely and full of light during the day! (The photos don't quite capture how lovely it is in the morning as the sun rises.) It is also larger than it looks in the photos. Everything you may need is provided, including games, a "things to do" book, and CLEAR instructions for everything. The space is perfect for a long stay, including a large closet--- more than enough room for suitcases, clothes, etc. There is a large backyard, completely private, and a sectioned-off astroturf under an awning, which is great for the (rare) rain. Throughout our stay, she checked in often to ask if we needed new linens or towels, or just to make sure all was well.
Due to unusual and complicated circumstances, we did not leave her guesthouse as we found it. Donna was patient, kind, and even generous as I tried to remedy and more than fair--- gracious with me in our final conversations. I'm quite grateful to Donna (and Derrick) for their hospitality.
