I can't say enough good things about our wonderful stay at Joe and Janae's flat. I could have easily stayed for a month in this home away from home. The house is a quiet, quaint and charming little hidden getaway. Even though this is a shared space it feels private and independent of the house. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Each bedroom had extra pillows and blankets, cute french dressers and plenty of closet space. The bohemian decorations delight the eye and creatively make the space feel much larger. The way the two rooms are arranged give each guest privacy which also adds to the charm of the common living space.
If you are into bird calls this is the spot! The entire back deck is surrounded by trees and the mornings are filled with bird songs. The deck is a wonderful place to have your morning coffee (the host provided local coffee) on the bistro table overlooking the cliff of majestic trees. The cliff provides lush greenery as far as you can see. For Artist the back deck would provide enough space for an easel if you wanted to paint all day. The porch is shaded in the AM so the sun comes and goes and is pleasant for painting most of the day.
Janae and Joe provided small wonderful treats like a home made bottle of blush wine, chocolates on the pillows, extra toiletries in case anything was forgotten in packing. They also thoughtfully provided snacks, oatmeal, granola bars and fizzy water. Thoughtfully there were enough dishes, utensils, mugs and cups provided with paper towels to use. There were 4 filtered water bottles provided and we devoured two of the four. A small refrigerator provided plenty of space for the 3 of us to store our cold food items. Essentially they covered every detail and them some.
Books and movies provided by the host are plentiful so you can't possible be bored. There were also several board games to choose for group playing. The hills surrounding this house provided a great walking or running work out. Your quads will scream from the hills. There are no sidewalks but the road is quiet and I found there was not much traffic to worry about during the walk. Ideal spot for biking. This is a perfect spot, off the beaten path and yet delightfully close to down town with a five minute drive.
I would stay again and highly recommend this little getaway.
