Alicia was an absolutely fantastic hostess. Her cottage was so quaint and beautiful, and she had it all decorated up for Christmas. The bedroom itself is a dream. She was great in terms of communicating with us up to our arrival - we had no problems getting into the house, and she left us some wine, cheese and crackers for us! We also spent a good portion of the evening chatting and getting to know each other. We needed to leave at 5:30 the following morning for a long drive into Arizona, and Alicia was up with us at 5 making us coffee and bagels, and she packed us a little bag of crackers and fruit for the trip! Completely above and beyond what we expected when we booked the place, and my boyfriend and I were commenting how we wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be back to stay with Alicia.
