Julie and Bill are very welcoming and wonderful to interact with. And Julie is ridiculously adorable as a host. I show up to a gorgeous property and find an infectious smile and sunny disposition, am shown a very clean and tidy room looking just like the photos, and find homemade cookies and a welcome note as we thought I might arrive when they were not home. Love that. She made sure I knew she was available if I found myself in need of anything at all, then took her leave so that I could get settled in.

I start looking around and find: a glass container of homemade granola with a banana for me to have for breakfast. Hmm...I'm going to need milk, so I look in the fridge. Yep, there's milk. Plus yogurt, bottles of water and orange juice. Julie, you rock. I don't drink coffee or tea but I notice some of that lying around too.

Other unexpected things I found: Adult coloring books and colored pencils, travel and lifestyle books, board games, an oscillating fan, portable heater, portable stereo w/cd player, clothes drying rack... she really does have it covered, in my book.

Omg. And the bed. That delightful fluffy cloud of a bed. Bliss. Well, for me, anyway. We all have different needs when it comes to a bed.

I could go on but you're probably tired of reading at this point so I'll wrap it up with: Enjoyed my stay, was pleasantly surprised, exceeded expectations, charming hosts, would recommend to anyone, and will definitely and eagerly stay here again. :)

Ok I lied. One more thing: the neighborhood. Filled with beautiful historic homes. Including the one you are staying at. I went for a walk to explore and you should too, its a great neighborhood. It is a bit hilly, though, so that might be a challenge/hinderance to some. A nice bit of fitness for others. I straddle the line on that one, but it was worth it. ;)
