From initial inquiry to final goodbye, these hosts provided a flawless experience. Communication was first rate, before booking, not a question went unanswered for more than ten minutes (really). After booking, all instructions were clear and accurate.
The location, the home, the suite we occupied were just perfect.
The neighborhood is "just right!" Not too busy, not too quiet, and located just minutes from our daughter (walking).
Antoinette and Louis are like magical hosts, there and not there......how do they DO that??!!
They were out when we arrived (a late dinner time arrival) but we knew how to let ourselves in. Once settled, there was wine in the fridge and wine glasses to choose from!
All weekend we were in and out of this gorgeous, immaculately kept home, shoes off (in well designated places) and so very comfy up on our own third floor.
The temperature dropped 30 degrees our second day, I was ill prepared....and without a moment of hesitation, Antoinette handed me two jackets (we DO love choices, don't we?) and a cozy scarf. Oh My Gosh, it made all the difference on a blustery, damp day. So, so appreciate this kindness.
Morning coffee was all we NEEDED, (fresh beans, grinder, french press, ahhhhhh), but we also couldn't resist the fresh bread (I used butter AND pear preserves).
The yard was coming to life and it's obvious that Antoinette and Louis care for it well....in fact, the whole neighborhood was popping with spring beauty. Sorry to miss the lilacs (just starting), azaleas and rhododendrons!
Great walking area! Shops of many kinds, the Arnold Arboretum (which we WILL see next time!).
We were astonished at the class of this home and at the generosity of Antoinette and Louis for sharing it!
We hope our daughter remains in JP because we'll look forward to seeing her just slightly more than returning to 40 Eliot Street.
