Soraya's place seemed personal and thoughtful. There were water bottles from their filter, if we didn't want to drink tap, and a note to leave them outside for refill if we needed. There were black towels for makeup. And there were towels in the shape of elephants. The dog (dogs?) bark when you're coming/going--he'll peer out at you from the drapes--but seemed to not do so after 10pm till 9am (he stuck to curfew, too, I guess!). Wish I'd met the dog(s)! Parking wasn't an issue for the two days I was there.
