1 billion stars. WHERE IS THAT OPTION?
Even saying "above and beyond" doesn't quite do justice the experience of staying here and being hosted by Robin and Michael.
Logistics first: location itself is super convenient. They're walkable to a market and 7-11 if you need to grab something because you forgot to bring something like I did. Dry cleaners, nail salon and food, all walkable. Everything about the layout of space is thoughtful. Not needing a key (it's coded) to get in and out is incredibly convenient.
Robin is super responsive to messages, I told her I needed to have a package sent to her address and she was happy to receive it and put it in my room for me when I arrived. I kept her updated on my ridiculous delayed flight and late at night, she was still up to give me a quick welcome. On my way to their place, I was worried it was getting too late to get to the markets because I was sure I needed to buy water. No, I didn't. There was water already in the little fridge! I also love that they compost their used coffee grinds.
The entire space is like going down into a warm hug. From the decor, to the amenities, to where everything was placed, I knew I was going to be well-taken care of (they are even so sweet to provide picnic/RedRocks blankets!). There's an adorable garden out back too!
I was in town for SeriesFest and they even came out and supported my pilot, TWICE! They made me a trail of roses for a "red carpet". Floored. Completely floored.
I was lucky enough to have time and catch them at a good time to hang out a little bit on the porch and it was so great to learn more about them. They are an incredibly generous, thoughtful and sweet couple.
