The cute house if very clean, which is a huge plus because in the end it is not about the host but about the bed in which one needs to sleep. Noel contacted me well ahead of time prior to my arrival to ensure we would be in communication...and he was still very nice to me even after I changed my mind a zillion times about the time of my arrival. He was very professional and courteous, and quickly addressed the issue that I could not get inside the house when I arrived.
However I had chosen this location because of the wonderful feedback left from other guests and I must regretfully say I did not feel "the warmth" and "welcoming atmosphere" described by others. On the contrary Noel's companion obvious non-acknowledgment of my existence both when I first saw her reading a book on the couch and later when I walked into the kitchen and she clearly avoided making eye contact with me made me feel rather uncomfortable. My attempts to make conversation with Noel fell short and I did not feel like he was interested in chatting with me at all.
When I left in the morning I was not able to see Noel in person and sent him a text thanking him for his hospitality. He never replied to it, which I found a bit off-putting, most of all because I had been coughing during the nite (I was sick) and wanted to know if had kept him awake, in which case I would have liked to apologize to him for it.
Nonetheless, as I said earlier it really is not about the hosts, rather is is about the facilities, and you will find both the room and the bathroom very pleasing and sparkle clean. Sleeping in the bed is like floating on a cloud (that is how soft he mattress is), and this comes from a person who sleeps of extra firm mattresses so the positive feedback counts for 200%. I will also add that the street is very quiet and if you are a light sleep you will have no problem sleeping like a baby. The room is basic but spacious, and a nicely sized desk offers you space to comfortably work if you need to. I briefly walked into the coffee place Noel mentions in the description of the place and it truly is as "delicious" an inviting as he describes it. If I had had the time, I most surely would have spent some time there sipping a hot coffee.
