It took us a couple of days to get used to the suite, because we probably are accustomed to too many comforts and facilities at our home base in Toronto. But then we felt settled in and began to enjoy our vacation. All the very basic necessities are provided. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the patio on a sunny day and enjoy a cup of tea…. it’s a nice peaceful backyard with comfortable patio chairs. If the upstairs suite is occupied it can get pretty noisy as there is no sound insulation between the two units in the house, save a hollow core interior door. We were there in December and January which was quite chilly in our downstairs suite…. rather uncomfortably. The heating is controlled by a thermostat in the upstairs unit (no access to it for us in the downstairs suite) but once we let Joan know that we needed a higher heat setting she was very responsive to our need and remotely rescheduled the thermostat settings to make it more comfortable for us.
Thank you Joan!
