A perfect experience: home, location and hosts.
The room is large, private, quiet and secure (including lock) with a soft oversized bed and ample natural light. Situated at the rear of the property on a high floor, with co-located bathroom and large adjoining outdoor deck - akin to a secluded studio apartment. Each morning, I made delicious coffee (coffee machine!) and sat among the countless beautiful plants decorating the deck.
Immaculately clean throughout (including the bedroom, bathroom, large kitchen and dining rooms, ample linens and towels). Set in a large, grand home split over multiple levels there is a feeling of opulence. Little joys like underfloor heating in the bathroom elevated this stay to an absolutely stellar experience.
Wonderfully kind hosts: responsive, attentive and genuine. They struck the right balance of respecting privacy while simultaneously making me feel welcome (unexpectedly including me in lavish family dinners).
Exceeded every expectation.
