I give huge props to the host for her attention to detail. As soon as we walked in, we noticed all the little touches that made the house so comfortable. Plants, a lit Christmas tree, cute decorations and family photos to make it feel like we were staying at a close friend’s house, nice toiletries in the bathroom and an amazing shower head that softened the water with great water pressure, cool artwork and dish-ware, filtered water in the fridge for our arrival, water bowls for the dogs, and a space heater & sound machine in the bedroom. We could tell so much thought & intentionality went into styling this place and we would be back!!
My three negatives (which are a little out of the host’s control): 1) it was so cold at night. The house has heating but you can’t control it and it’s set at 70°, but all the windows and French doors near the patios let in a lot of cold air. 2) we arrived after dark and there was no lighting outside to show the stairs or doors. 3) noisy guests above us
