This trip has so many unorthodox variables I am not sure where to start praising this host.
We snagged this on a single night reservation when our original hotel had no empathy for a lost credit card on a pre-paid room, ultimately stealing this pad at a 1/3 of the price. But better than saving a grand, is the reaction when my 9 year old managed to befriend a few neighbors’ kids (and their dog); unlike the disgruntled reprimand one would expect, the property managers graceful sent me a text addressing the situation of a barking dog. They didn’t shame us, they didn’t charge us without analyzing the facts, they allowed us to enjoy the little time we had and be on our way. That’s the hospitality we all seek when traveling- the golden rule.
As I mentioned In the beginning, our trip was everything but planned- Don’t expect the deep discount, don’t go looking to adopt some random dog, but do expect a genuinely wonderful house hosted by even better people.
