Michel was so welcoming from first moment. The cottage was so lovely and I felt cozy there. The "Bajou St John" Quarter is friendly, people smiling in the streets, saying hello and opening to chat! I spent some time in a local coffe house, next door to a lovely little bookstore.

I was travelling alone, borrowed a bike downtown and was all over the place during daylight, so lovely to come back to the cottage when the light was shifting. I made my own meals from time to time, didn't have to buy spices and such necessities because I found them in the cupboard. From now on Michel will be my friend, and I hope I will meet her again, and if she ever comes to Iceland, I would like to greet her.

The loss of the fifth star is simply because of the bed, I slept decently, but for people with back problems the bed might be a challenge. But apart from that - my San Francisco experience was amazing, and the conversations with Michel life altering - she is so spirited and gifted, both as an artist and as a human being.
