This was our first stay outside of our home during the pandemic. Due to the pandemic, we did have some minor challenges in staying here as a family of 4. However, this stay was still exactly what we needed, and Claudia is a wonderful host, and her place is beautiful.
The hot tub is incredible and we used it every day. It appeared to be brand new and was very roomy and clean. That alone is reason to rent Claudia’s place. Her attention to design and detail is apparent at every turn. The nighttime lighting was beautiful.
Our kids are distance learning right now and unfortunately the wifi isn’t ideal for Zoom, especially when more than one person needs to telecommute. No fault of Claudia, but it’s helpful to know these things.
Due to the pandemic and our constraints, we ordered food to-go and brought the food to the rental to eat there. There is a small bistro table to eat at, which really is more for drinking a bit of tea or coffee. When the weather is nice, the backyard is a nice spot to eat at. We felt like we were accumulating a bit more trash than normal since all of our meals were to-go, so we would suggest access to trash bags.
The kids happily slept on the sleeper couch and were comfortable there. We are a family with allergies to some scents, so please let the host know ahead of time if you are also sensitive, if needed. Claudia gave us a Hepa filter to use for any allergies and it really helped.
In non-covid times, this spot would be absolutely perfect for our needs when on vacation: it’s beautiful, comfortable, easy to hang out in after a long day of sightseeing and restaurant hopping, and Claudia is very present and helpful.
