Sara was an amazing host, and her place was phenomenal. I am a frequent traveler, and her quaint and comfortable nest had blown me out of the water in comparison to many other places I've stayed.
She had a chocolate bar (a high quality one too) left tactfully for me on the kitchen counter when I first arrived. Everything was sparkly clean and easily accessible.
One of the most impressive aspects of all was Sara's communication skills and readily tactile ability to read the need's and expressions of me as the guest. Firstly, she responded quickly to my later request and adapted readily to set up the nest for me. Secondly, I am a big people person/love to get to know others better and what makes them happy, but am simultaneously introverted and like to recharge after a long day in peace and solitude. We had great conversations, and when I was tired, she gauged that very well and enabled for my easy transition to head in and rest. Sara was kind, warm, quick-witted and reads the room well.
During my time at her place, it became apparent how thoughtful, detailed, and conscientious Sara is about not just her nest but also about other aspects about caring for the world. Her thoughtful compost, recycle, and waste chart was very well panned out and the products she has available i.e. detergent were of a universal, intuitive, and high quality. I have sensitive skin and most often opt to use gentle detergents, but make do when it is not available. Her set up of the nest made it so that was not something I even needed to think twice about.
There were also beautiful pieces of artwork from small artists all throughout the nest. They were unique, eclectic, and idiosyncratic, not just any random prints. I had fun pondering over these intriguing pieces she had and appreciated her support for these artists' small businesses.
All in all, the nest was quiet yet dynamic, lively yet peaceful, and homey yet rejuvenating. The way that the nest is so conscientiously set up, it garnered a sense of respect within me. For all the care and thought put into it, I felt the need to reciprocate the level of care and love back into the nest all the more.
In address to other guests' reviews:
- Though there was no AC, it honestly wasn't a problem for me at all. The temperature was easily adjustable and there was what I believe to be a portable AC/machine and it worked just fine (currently late August/early September weather). I was comfy and happy.
Overall/TLDR:
- Host is conscientious, insightful, creative, welcoming.
- stay here. It is great and you won't regret it.
