Melanie was fantastic, a dream to work with. I am looking forward to planning a trip with her again. As with any normal trip, there were some bumps and bruises with a couple of the excursions, due to the tour/guide themselves, not Melanie or KimKim, but overall it was a phenomenal trip and we had a truly fantastic time. I can't thank Melanie enough.

They were truly wonderful, friendly, and helpful. Took great care of us!

Cleanliness & Comfort

If you like AC control you need to tell the front desk. A lot of stairs, only one person can fit in the elevator.

Across the street from the train station so the front view is not beautiful, but the location in terms of getting everywhere is pretty fantastic.

Issue with the AC not working in one of the rooms due to construction.

Angela and Luigi are a truly beautiful people, we had the best day with them. They customized the experience for us, interacted with us, cooked amazing food for us, we all felt like old friends when we left them at the end of the day. It was an extraordinary experience.
