I loved the casita! The magic of the experience is really in staying with someone who enjoys hospitality and engaging with travelers and Nicol is very much that person. She was kind, helpful, and generous. I loved the many custom architectural details throughout and the thoughtful details like the bottle of wine and chocolate. The only sub-par detail of the experience was the bed: it slopes in the middle and I could feel the plywood beneath me. I think the bed is ready to be retired.
