Italy
Sicily
Stayed : November 2022
Nestled in a quiet street at the bottom of the Taromina hill, this little Apartment is neat, spacious and has the most wonderful view. Its location provides the best of all worlds. A steep walk or short bus ride to Old Town Taromina, across the street from a quaint Beach with exquisite transparent water, just down from the Train Station or a 15 minute flat walk to Giardini Naxos. You won't want to spend that much time in your room, but when you do you'll be comfortable.

Stayed : October 2022
If you want to experience the exquisite landscape of Taromina and surrounds, this Studio is a must. Adjacent to Mt. Etna you have a front row seat to this majestic Volcano, which the locals name 'Mongibello' [beautiful mountain]. It is something to behold. Sitting above the Town, it is worth the staired 10 minute walk down to the Old City, but you can easily catch a bus for your return trip with the Bus Stop only feet from the front of the complex. While the Studio itself could use some updating, it is still comfortable and well worth the lack of luxe for the view.

Naples, Campania
Stayed : November 2022
The every changing skyline over Naples is one of the most intriguing, serene and beautiful things I have seen. This 2 level Apartment provides a spectacular view both inside and out. While it isn't the cosiest of Homes. It is clean and very spacious. It is also in a terrific location for walking the city of Naples, with convenient access to the Subway, Bus and Taxi Rank. It is located on a small street so you will need to walk from the adjacent road should you catch a Taxi home. There is the most lovely Italian woman that lives on the ground floor. While she speaks no English, she is kind and very helpful.

Rome, Lazio
Stayed : April 2023
Medieval City life from this home is a joy. Bathed in natural light and windows overlooking the cobblestone streets, it is a comfortable taste of small town Italy. Less than a 5 minute walk to the lake and cafes overlooking the water. You will not be short of streets to wander in or local produce and cuisine to sample. The pièce de résistance is the rooftop. A large area, well appointed with seating depending on how you wish to experience the tranquil sunsets that adorn the lake.

Florence, Tuscany
Stayed : December 2022
A luxurious space, this Room would rival any high end Hotel. With a deluxe size walk in closet, decadent bathroom, King Size Bed and merely steps from the Main Square of Florence it doesn't get much better than this in the City. An Italian Produce Market and Grocer are directly across the street. Or a great stop for Coffee before getting lost in the streets of the City. The Host prides themselves on a quality experience of their space and your time in Florence.

Turin, Piedmont
Stayed : April 2023
A hidden gem right above the Main Street of the City, this Apartment is very spacious with a soft quaint feel. A well appointed and comfortable space while you're exploring the rich history of what seems like a small town but is not. Less than a 5 minute walk to the Piazza, Shopping District and Historical District it's almost surprising how just outside the heart of everything you will find yourself. The Host is exceptionally friendly and accomodating.

Outside of the City you will find this hidden gem. Sitting on the outskirts of Marjan Park, a point out towards the bay with walking and biking trails with a stunning view of the ocean, and small swimming spots along the way. While only a 15 minute walk from the Old Town, the Apartment is surrounded by trees, birds and butterflies. You may even be visited by a squirrel or too. The complex is blissfully peaceful and quiet.

Puerto Vallarta, Nayarit

While Nuevo Vallarta is a developing area, you cannot beat this complex along the ocean. Walk through the Gardens, which has it's own Restaurant and Bar, to be lead directly to the beach and deep blue ocean. The Condo is extremely clean and well maintained. With comfortable furnishings and ammenities to make it your home away from home.

Sayulita, Nayarit
Stayed : September 2022
Sayulita, the place of the gold sand. This Villa is like finding gold. Contained in only a complex of 2 Villas and a House, there is much privacy and tranquility. A clean, well maintained space that has a fusion of new and local Mexican flair. While there is no television, the Internet will more than suffice streaming. There is a television in the identical Villa across the walkway, which you can find in the Host's other Listings. Located close to the town, it is possible to walk but its a little steep on the way back up, something to keep in mind. Many People that stay or live in this area rent golf carts. The Host is most gracious and generous should you need any recommendations or amenities during your stay.

Playa Del Carmen, Quintana Roo
Stayed : September 2021
This was a newly built Apartment in 2021. And everything about it was luxurious. Even the Bathroom. Well appointed and comfortable in a quiet and very secure complex. While it is a 15 minute walk from Fifth Avenue it is worth it to be amongst the local cuisine and produce. There is a Grocery Store on the next corner. And the streets towards Fifth Avenue hold a number of gem cafes and local spots. You are also walking distance from a Co-Working space. The rooftop pools offer a front row seat to the burning red Mexican sunsets and a cool reprieve from a day out exploring.

Mazatlan, Sinaloa
Stayed : January to February 2022
While it may not look like much from the road, this Hotel is an Oasis located not far from the Mazatlan Marina. This side of Mazatlan is less populated with tourists and a more contemporary perspective of the City. You aren't walking distance to the Golden Zone or Old Town Districts but it is quite and convenient to have the beach only steps from the pool deck. You are also closer to the large Mall. Any of the ocean view rooms in this Hotel are a treat and so too are the Team that run the Radisson.

Guadalajara, Jalisco
Stayed : December 2021 to January 2022

Surrounded by areas of Gardens, the local Mall and general ammenities. The Hotel have a wonderful and helpful Team, despite the onsite Restaurant not being a true indication of Mexican quality cuisine, which is a great excuse to discover that the surrounding area is brimming with local Restaurants. The rooftop pool is adequate and is complimented with a Gym and Sauna.
