I almost don't want to share this because I want Amanda's place to be available next time we travel ;) but THIS IS YOUR PLACE!
Amanda's place was perfectly located, incredibly clean, and so comfortable. Just the right size for our family of four. We traveled with small kids (ages 3 and 5), and Amanda thoughtfully provided some toys for the kids, bath supplies, and a kids' potty cover. The back patio space and the rooftop with the igloo are GORGEOUS and were beautiful spaces to start and end the day. We spent most of our days exploring and all of our evenings relaxing in the space, feeling exhausted and happy.
I was reflecting today on how energized I feel after such a busy vacation, and I think the truth of it is that new places spark awe and wonder in ways that we aren't able to access in our normal places and routines. Amanda's place was everything we needed - comfortable, accessible with our kids, with just the right touch of whimsy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We will be back!
