As soon as I saw him walk down those stairs and said 'welcome home' I thought wow. Then he sat down on the stairs and gazed into my eyes with his beautiful eyes and said, 'you weren't kidding about being from Mississippi'.
Well that may or may not have happened but that's the way I chose to remember it and thank goodness for Freedom to Think What You Want.
Oh, goodness, I just realized I'm supposed to be reviewing the space and not Andrew. Sorry.
Ok, everything was as described, but I think a little downplayed. The en suite was awesome and Andrew has put a lot into making this space feel like a hotel room. Everything about the room was like being in a 3 star hotel room. As a woman, the bathroom was important to me and it passed my white glove test PLUS I loved the hotel bathroom feel. Complete with Ikea bath mat and all the toiletries you need. The closet also had 2 nice bathrobes and more toiletries and cleaning supplies. No personal items of Andrew's in the space. Cute little hotel like bedside lamps on beautiful antique like tables I wanted to take with me.
Ok, please walk down the alley to the lil shops in Columbia City. Geraldine's Counter is not open on Mondays, BUT there is a great Bakery on the opposite side of the street with hot breakfast items...so Yum. Plus some lil Anise cookies to yearn for. I also had dinner at the Ethiopian Restaurant on one of the side streets...Beef tibs with collard greens and homemade cottage cheese and Injera. Yum.
Ok, back to Andrew, Andrew if Christine ever messes up and you'd like to have a live in 45 year old country talking Mississippian perpetually leasing out the space, just call me. Christine, I'd also considering being a Sister Wife. Big smile yawl.
Stay here guys, Andrew was an amazing host who will answer any questions you have and stay out of your way. I appreciate this place.
