Of all the great hosts we've encountered, I think we've yet to meet one more soulful, compassionate, and hospitable.
Mila greeted us warmly and gave us a thorough tour of her cozy, historic, and excellently located row house as well as the nearby community garden and dog park which our pups had a field day in.
The location is very well located and is a quick walk or short drive away from a huge number of attractions and eateries.
Mila offered us great help and aid when we told her how one of our dogs Andre had an acute paw pad wound discovered before we made the trip up. Thanks to Mila we were able to clean and dress his wound.
Mila, upon hearing I studied some Russian, shared with us some postcards from her beloved Kiev, Ukraine and was patient and encouraging as I stumbled through conversing some in Russian.
There were many interesting books in the living room that drew my attention, Left of Bang being one and another a Cyrillic anthology of William Faulkner.
Even though our stay was short, Mila made us feel at home, and culminated with her famous waffles which were a joy to share with my wife. We look forward to returning again!
