We had a great stay at Amanda's home. We felt very comfortable and independent. Amanda is truly a fabulous host!!! The bedroom we stayed in was my favorite part of the house. Bright, colorful and with a very comfortable bed (I hate soft mattresses and hers was nice a firm). I love how Amanda decorated her house. There are a lot of things to look at and admire, lots of fun books to read (if you have time), many places to get comfy. The dog Chavi was adorable and extremely friendly to us and to our little dog. The cat Tula was very cute and friendly, but was mostly hiding, so we did not interact too much. The house was very close to the main street with all the bars, restaurants, shops, etc. A lot of activity our there! You will not be bored! The house needed some thorough dusting, but I am sure Amanda will soon take care of it :)
