Just got back from a fabulous week-long stay with C & A and we couldn't have asked more from our hosts. I went with a friend and we split our time between both the upstairs studio and the two downstairs rooms. Both spaces were beautiful, comfortable and clean. The upstairs studio is particularly nice, with a little patio with a view of the yard and surrounding area. Perfect for morning coffee. The house is also very centrally located, in an area where you can actually walk to a bunch of shops and restaurants. As a result, we only rented a car for one day of our trip, but were easily able to find street parking when we did.

As I've said, beyond the space being beautiful and making you feel as though you've stepped into a different city, C & A were fantastic hosts. My flight was seriously delayed and I ended up arriving 10 hours later than planned. Not only did they offer to pick me up at the airport, but then checked to make sure I was okay when the shuttle service I caught instead was taking longer than expected. And when I finally arrived a little after midnight, they were at the garden gate to let me in, carry my suitcase and show me to my room. In short, they were the perfect mix of friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive.

As an added bonus, my friend and I had a great time playing with the animals (a thoroughly optional activity with the way the space is set up, if you aren't an animal enthusiast). The goats were my personal favorite, while my friend bonded with one of the resident rabbits.

Overall, the space is an inviting respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. A great place to either use as a base for exploring the surrounding area, or as a bucolic retreat to kick back and read a book in the sunshine for an afternoon.

Thanks so much to C & A and we will definitely be returning!
