It's difficult to pinpoint and put into words exactly what makes Elizabeth and John's listing so extraordinary, but at the risk of sounding cliché, it's probably that beyond being gracious hosts, they are really good people and open their hearts to everyone that approaches their doorstep.
This means you feel much like family, because they treat you like one of theirs.
The home itself is not what you'd expect from the photos. While not bad by any means, they don't capture the modern and upscale appointments inside; a pleasant surprise to be sure.
They are also located in a quiet neighborhood, surrounded by nature and comfortably-spaced family houses, but near to shops and other city destinations; reminds me of the small town street where I grew up in the eighties.
Not to be overlooked are the lovely breakfasts served daily; delicious, creative menu choices that are modest, but plenty filling. Some thoughtful conversation on the side is a fitting start to anyone's day.
In summary: a wonderfully appointed home in a quiet suburban area surrounded by nature, and two of the warmest hosts you could be lucky to meet. Highly recommended.
