Monica was a lovely host. Her cute little free-standing, private cottage was just what we wanted. It was quiet, in a nice neighborhood and had all the essentials: comfortable queen-sized bed, real blanket and comforter (becoming scarcer and scarcer in hotels, but I appreciate them!), "dorm sized" fridge with a little freezer, hot water kettle for making tea, coffee, instant oatmeal, etc. The bathroom was very small, but clean, and functional. The garden was lovely and she has a hot tub which guests can use, but we didn't use either--we were out early and in late every day. The internet worked great--until AT&T itself went down. Monica then spent an hour on the phone with them to get them back up, as we had a couple of urgent emails to end. (Thanks, Monica!)

We had a bit of trouble reaching Monica by email initially, but we did finally succeed and then found that if contacted by text, she responds within seconds! We had a great stay!
