I give Felira's Haitian Art Home my highest recommendation. This is a remarkable home, truly a wonderful place to stay! This was our 2nd time staying at Felira's place and I look forward to bringing groups back here again in the future.
First, this house is filled with inspiring artwork. Next, there is a wonderful kitchen, that allows for real cooking. The spices are all already there. Outside, a magical, private garden inspires wonder and ease -- and my team also enjoyed hanging out on the front porch for early morning discussions before we headed to the Capitol to start our busy day.
Internet was good, allowing for communication with the world. The upstairs bathroom was well appointed, with a variety of soaps and shampoos, much appreciated. There is air conditioning, and luckily the weather cooled down so most days, we did not need to run the air conditioning units.
Felira was gracious and flexible when our time of arrival changed, and he was available at a moment's notice as questions arose. One member of our team much preferred sleeping on the floor. Felira helped find him a sleeping bag and mattress pad.
Ours is a nonprofit organization, bringing together an international team for what would be eight-ten meetings each day. We had come to walk the halls of Congress to ask Congress' help to keep a village standing on the other side of the world. An unexpected benefit of this property was that an extra person who came from New York was able to join us, staying in the studio unit downstairs.
So in closing, thank you, Felira. I look forward to bringing another group there soon.
