The Nest was a dream home during a stormy week in California. I loved watching the rains from the cozy bed through a gorgeous picture window overlooking a verdant landscaped area. The kitchen shelves were stocked with teas, oatmeal, granola, etc. with milk, half n’half, and more in the fridge. All sorts of toiletries can be found the bathroom cabinet should you forget anything. The art and decorative touches are both beautiful and cheery. Chris was incredibly present and responsive before and during my stay. There are a host of amazing dining options within a few miles of El Nido - The Hideout, Cafe Sparrow, Aptos St. BBQ, Carried Away, Companion Bakeshop, Zameen. It’s simply a wonderful place to stay whether you want to hunker down for a little while or use it a launching pad to explore the coast.
