In the UK and France they have a contest between BnB owners. I love watching, them seek out a speck of dirt, a too-hard towel. However, we like looking at the good parts.
So far each one has been an adventure.
Here's what we've found.
Arans, Andorra
A two bedroom flat, stone walls beautiful decorations in a converted farm house. It was so lovely we want to go back for two weeks of writing and mountain walks in the spring.
Collonge, Switzerland
Why did we stay in this Swiss BnB near the lake a few minutes from my address? My housemate's sons were home occupying spare rooms. We were only there for one nigh, but the charming hostess and I will have filet des perches, when, I am back.
Cambridge, MA
A loft in an architect's home on a street with Victorian houses and brick sidewalks. There was amazing artwork. It might be hard to read, but this poster had license plates from the states in alpha order. The words on them make up the opening of the Declaration of Independence.
Acton, MA
From city to country, with a one bedroom, living room and kitchen next to a brook.
Montreal, Canada
We saved the best for last...a condo on the fifteenth floor in the heart of the city.
After a drive through magnificent color, and about thirty kilometers of traffic jam, we opened the door to flat 1501. We were told it would be unlocked.
Instead of a spotless place there were dishes in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor and a slightly frightened medical student studying for her exam the next day.
A quick discussion, a check of our reservation, we apologized and went to 1510. The day before we left we brought her a bouquet of yellow flowers as an apology for scaring her. I hope from now on she locks the door. She did pass her exam.
Rick and I are so suited to each other. We both have the ability to do this type of stuff.
