I knew this would be a great experience even before I arrived. Hal's friendly, helpful communications were clear and thoughtful, providing all the info I needed to find the place and settle in. I'd planned for my stay as a couple of days off after a conference nearby, but I ended up needing to work through the weekend. Hal's apartment was the perfect space for this: Spotless, airy, light-filled and quiet. And the host's gift of a lovely bottle of white wine, cheese, bread and fruit meant I could stay in and focus without having to worry about finding food right away. Hal invited me over for a chat on my first evening, and I felt right at home immediately. Would have loved a bit more time for conversation and hope I'll have another opportunity in the future. In short, this was the perfect stay, and I hated leaving. The one word that keeps coming to mind is "thoughtful." Thank you!
