Avis Full Moon July Special-Wed- Moonbeams on the river

Jennifer is a prompt and excellent communicator . She followed all house rules and left it in good condition. I would definitely welcome her back.

The most disturbing part of Diana's stay was the fact that she left a large window wide open and the thermostat on high in the cold November weather causing the waste of precious heating fuel. At first I preferred not to be critical about it preferring to not make an issue of it however as I proceeded to clean the house I found small rather annoying things had been changed. Lots of extra communication needed about discounts that VrBO (not the host) offers even though she was receiving an additional 15% discount on the second night which I offer as a host. Upon arrival she chose not to do the walk through of the house and property with me stating she did not want to remove her boots to go through the house.. The house itself is located 100 average steps from the river but of course not literally on the river. She removed the notes in the house of which there were very few ( some even requred by the buidling insoector.) thus I had to re-ceate them. The note she refers to about not leaning on the screens is there to protect young children and are only 2"x4" in the lower corner of the second floor window. The lift chair which she refers to is turned off to prevent any guest mishaps but is useful for handicapped family member visits and takes up a very small part of the staircase and is low enough to allow one to slide their suitcases on it. From November though March high quality cozy flannel sheets are the default choice for winter bedding, however I would easily have changed them to cotton sheets if Diana requested thejm. As I told her and all my guests. "I live 2 blocks away so contact me if you have any questions or problems." If it is not already on my property description I will add a choice of sheets. Unfortunately her action leaving the window open makes hosts like myself wonder if we eally want to share our precious properties, and then we have to remember the 99% guests who are thoughtful, respectful and appreciative.

Ed and Family, Thank you for staying at our BNB and for leaving it good shape. It was a pleasure hosting all of you and I always enjoy wen my guests show such interest in the place. You are welcome back any time. Blessings. Gaetana

Thank you, Anna. I would love to have you stay again.

Thanks for your stay, Alexandra. You and your friend were a pleasue to meet and to host. You are welcome back any time.

Thank you, Fran for staying at my BnB and for your critique. I'm disappointed to hear the word "old" used in what sounds negative. The description on the website states the house was built in 1940. Homes that are well cared for, as mine is, do not show their age but rather the period of architecture and period furnishings which are all very comfortable and not in any disrepair I advised against using the chairlift in the rare event of a malfunction. You did not say that you had limitations on ambulating and indeed neither you nor your friend showed or mentioned any limitations when I walked you through the house. The lift is not advertised on my site and it is not there for guest use but only for family use. I hope you enjoyed the 20 % off promotional special you received on your stay.
