Michael-jon’s summary of guests describing the stay as having “the privacy of a small apartment with the home-like feel of being the house guest of friends” encapsulates this experience perfectly. Everything about this beautiful space feels like home and both Michael-jon and Christopher make you feel your presence is truly appreciated while showing utmost respect for your privacy, a very fine balance. The fireplace was a wonderful feature as was the welcome-home received from Ray Ray on nearly every arrival. The linens are ample, soft, and fragrance-free, and you will absolutely melt into the wonderfully soft but supportive mattress. The only sounds heard were occasional footsteps above in the kitchen while in the living room. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking with a beautiful range, and there is a little kitchenette clean-up area set up in the utility room enabling the option to wash dishes you use while in your own space if you’re up late. The bathroom is inviting and well-stocked, the side-lamp making it especially homey and helpful in finding it in the middle of the night when acclimating to the new space. I have chemical sensitivity and nothing in the house was triggering, the air was fresh and neutral. Communication was thoughtful, friendly, and terrifically responsive through the entire 12-night stay. I highly recommend Michael-jon, Christopher, Ray Ray and Hurley as hosts for an escapist yet home-away-from-home stay.
