I booked Carol's place on a whim on the same morning when I decided I needed a brief getaway. It turned out to be a perfect choice. The house was serene, cozy and tastefully decorated. I felt like I was at home away from home. Carol is an avid traveler herself and we had quite a few interesting conversations. I had a great time interacting with her dog and her cat too. I was also pleasantly surprised by the diversity of Carol's tea collection.
