Susan was such a thoughtful and wonderful host. She and I messaged back and forth a few times before our trip and she gave me some great tips on local places to enjoy.
If you're there on a Sunday you definitely need to check out the Hillcrest Farmers Market. Go hungry, take money, lol.
But back to Susan, she had the air and fans turned on as well as the outside lights since we were arriving in the dark. She had a couple of cold water bottles stocked in the fridge for us on arrival. The kitchen came stocked with basic cooking necessities as well as niceties such as tea, coffee, sugar, olive oil, salt, pepper and breakfast cereal.
She was also thoughtful enough to have basic bathroom amenities stocked (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap) in case anything was forgotten.
The only downsides (and very minor ones at that) are:
1. That the driveway is very long, narrow and steep (backing out was challenging at first).
2. The only air conditioning was in the bedroom (during the middle of the day the living room and kitchen area was noticeably warmer but not uncomfortable).
3. And lastly the shower is a bit small for plus sized persons but the hot water is plentiful.
Overall, my husband and I had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again if visiting the area.
