Roula's place was perfect for us. It was immaculate, sunny, roomy, comfortable...just wonderful. For us, though, the best part was Roula's kindness and generosity and our free access to the outdoor seating area in the beautiful front yard garden. We stuck close to home because the purpose was to care for a family member recovering from surgery. As such, we got to know the neighborhood--an unexpected "slow travel" experience that has sold me forever on this location. It's a hop, skip & jump into Manhattan where we had to go for medical appointments, but back at Roula's place we had the comforts of home and were so grateful for the easy, quiet place to retreat. Meeting and chatting with Roula's dad was also a joy for us. Not all travelers have that on their agendas--getting to know the hosts--but we needed to be homebodies, so it was so enjoyable to have access to such good people.

If I ever host I vow to take lessons from Roula. We're not picky and are probably less concerned about details than most people... but I'm sure really picky people would be happy here. This was just our second Airbnb place so I have no idea what hosts provide or what guests expect. I just know we were so happy here. Thank you, Roula!
