This was definitely one of my most interesting encounters in a good way. We stayed in Magnolia House for 5 days. Right after booking the host contacted me for arrival details, The most friendly host you’ll encounter. The art work, furniture, crown moldings, chandelier medallions, the gardens which seem to create its own ecosystem from our balcony as well as his collection of pieces from around the world kept me mesmerized and and intrigued throughout my stay. Every day we were brought a huge bowl of fresh fruit salad and boiled eggs, fresh towels and he even took our dirty dishes I felt as if I had my own butler. We were invited up to his place for drinks and conversation and we had a really great time. As well he respected privacy , it was walking distance to shopping galore and the ferry, we couldn’t ask for a better experience not to mention value.
