Surprised that the owner, Anita, called us and asked what time we were coming in. When I said, “About seven,” she said, “ Don’t stop for dinner, I will make it for you because my guests are family.” The “hotel” turned out to be a well cared for, older two story apartment building in a mixed use neighborhood without the typical features of a hotel like a lobby, pool, fitness center, etc. We had to wait for a very nice young man (the owner’s nephew) to let us into the building. He gave us the combination to the entry door and to our room (It is changed for each new guest.), helped us with our bags, and said that he would deliver our dinner in twenty minutes. We explored our older, but very clean one bedroom suite that had a living room, full kitchen, a dining room, a bedroom, and a full bath. There were free snacks, sodas, and cold water for us. The nephew quickly showed up with an enormous
dinner on a large silver tray: beef, lamb, chicken, rice, hummus, veggies, bread, dessert, and truffles among other things. The food was fantastic!!!
We did need to leave early and called the owner to tell her that we were leaving. She said, “You can’t stay for breakfast?”
It was quite a unique experience—the staff of two were so warm, generous, kind, caring, and loving people. This type of stay is not for everyone. It will be unforgettable for me!!!
