Ricky’s place is reminiscent of a classic boarding house, in an historic home, lovingly restored with guest suites designed for travelers to settle in.
No sharing closet, drawers, or bath space with someone who has moved out for your stay.
In this time of COVID, Ricky organized and posted safety protocols for all guests. Our rooms and baths were spotless, tastefully decorated, supplied with linens, toilet paper, tissues, and top-notch toiletries - shampoo, body wash, hand soap. Sanitizers and wipes throughout the house and rooms.
We had designated areas in the kitchen pantry, with fridge and cabinet space for our food. We had the option of eating in the dining room or on the veranda.
The house is situated in an ethnically diverse neighborhood, with lots of food options, small farmers market, all within walking distance. Some lively music from passing cars in the evening, but the nights are quiet and the beds very comfortable.
Ricky provided helpful suggestions for restaurants, wine shops, and touring. He baked a cake for my daughter’s birthday and he and his girls delivered it with candles and sang “Happy Birthday” to her.
This place is a true find and Ricky is an exceptional host.
