The place was even more magnificent than the pictures portrayed. It was like we were in a magical oasis of warmth and euphoria. Douglas, and Simone, were more than accommodating and went above and beyond to make my girlfriend and I feel as if we were at home.
Doug didn't hesitate when I requested an additional night and an early check-in. He even went as far as letting me check-out as late as I wanted (which a hotel would have charged me for an additional night). From the first step we took into his home, until the last step we took out, the strong appreciation of different cultures and religions placed us in a spiritual realm.
The "Welcome List", Doug left for us entailing rules, amenities, how to, and local shops and restaurants made for a very comfortable stay. There was even a bottle of Prosecco with a Happy Birthday sticky note on it for my girlfriend.
Our favorites:
Room- the sun room was perfect for relaxing in.
Amenity- the amazing sound system that we slow danced to as it played Marvin Gaye's "Romantically Yours" CD.
Restaurant/Thing To Do- Colossal Cafe which is located 2 blocks from Doug's place. The food is amazing! Try their house made hot sauce.
In all, we fell in love with the place every morning we woke up to the natural light beaming on our faces. I would recommend this place each and every time. Everyone should experience the beauty and the euphoria this place provides.
P.S. I fell under the weather for the whole stay and felt terrible. It's amazing just how perfect this place still felt. Thanks Doug.
