I feel lucky to have found this house. It’s one of my
favorite places I’ve ever stayed. Not just AirBnB but ever. Because people tend
to over rate places – I think often to be nice to the hosts – this place
deserves closer to 6 or 7 stars.
Everything here is special. Its something about the high ceilings
and they way it uses space, as well as the furniture and décor – a sort of
rustic meets modern interchange. But most of all the light. Both the skylight
and the electric light.
The light is everything in this space and for two reasons:
night and day. During the day sunlight drifts along the walls filling the rooms
serenity. Outside everything is green. At night, the direct, warm lighting and
brown colors leaves a sort of warm feeling reminiscent of candlelight. It’s the
kind of place you want to curl up and read a book in.
I slept in the loft area for the last few nights I was
there. I liked getting a chance to see the stars – but mostly planets - as I
drifted off to sleep and having the early morning light wake me up.
I also grew to enjoy the location and how it’s sort of
tucked away in everything. The whole sensation was of a cozy cottage, safe and
secluded.
In fact, the whole location is excellent. It’s within
walking distance of many great bars and restaurants.
Annemarie is a great host. Kind and thoughtful, she was
around if I needed anything but never overbearing. Always careful to allow me
privacy, she was also great to talk to whenever we bumped into each other around
the property.
