I’m starting this review on my first day arriving for a 5 day stay because I already know I’m going to have a lot to say, and I don’t want to write a rushed review. I arrived on Easter Sunday. Mary Lou let me check in 2 hours before check in, even though they were totally doing family Easter in the main house. She walked me through the BEAUTIFUL garden to the guest house, and made sure I had everything I needed (including a plate of Easter Sunday lunch <3). I spent the next two hours walking around the neighborhood. I cannot express in words how gorgeous the neighborhood is. I took MANY photos :) I finished the evening on my personal patio, which conveniently sits perfectly in the sun all afternoon until practically sunset. Prefer the shade in the afternoon? Don’t worry, the garden bellow is filled with beautiful shrubs and flowers and comfortable seating. Not to mention the welded metal sculptures and other charming original pieces of art perfectly scatter throughout the foliage. Needless to say, I ended my first night in absolute heaven.
The following days were more of the same. Mary Lou periodically checked on me to ensure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. As days passed, I discovered more tasteful and entertaining special touches. For example, I loved the small jar of color pencils and hardback sketch book for guests to fill with notes and sketches. Of course, I also took many more walks around the neighborhood and neighboring parks (yes multiple. And they’re ALL beautiful).
The apartment was stocked with complimentary snacks and breakfast items. Coffee and tea were also provided. I know this is going to sound strange...but the soap and shampoo was sooooooo nice. The bathroom is also stocked with soft fluffy towels and an array of personal hygiene items. This requires a great deal of attention to detail, but it makes a WORLD of a difference.
I could go on and on about how perfect this experience was for me, but I think I’ve made my point. Stop looking. Book this space. It’s comfortable, beautiful, and unforgettable. <3
