Silence. Absolute silence. When I slept, that’s all I heard. That kind of peace and quiet during a hectic business trip was the best possible thing for me. Nicole’s very welcoming, cozy home was a godsend, a hillside retreat from the madness of my conference. She has a cat and a dog that, somehow, are as silent as ninjas. She always has a smile and is super understanding. If you’re looking for a deadly silent retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city and a very economical choice for just yourself, it’d be hard to find a better deal than this. I looked. Very grateful to her for this wonderful stay.
