Blazing fast responses within seconds or minutes. Always to the point.

Very honest ... I ended up leaving an expensive camera with all our vacation photos somewhere in a corner and he took the initiative to search and find it even though it was a week after I left. He insisted on mailing it to me at his own expense, even though I offered to pay for it.

Comfortable beds
Good enough to spend a weekend or a week or even longer

Excellent value for money
