Richard is a friendly, hospitable, thoughtful and caring host. He went above and beyond throughout the entirety of our stay. Not only was he helpful in giving TukTuk drivers information once we got into Pana, he personally called one of the restaurants that were delivering to us to clarify our location and helped get us our food. The house itself is very charming. Windows were everywhere and unlike most places here, he had screens on all the windows and a bug screen on the front door which allowed us to keep everything open without worrying about bugs getting in. AMAZING! He also kept the fridge and freezer stocked with some goodies from the area that were available for at cost. Highly recommend the bread in the freezer. The water was hot, the towels were soft and the bed in the master was huge and extremely comfortable. The coffee provided was from local farms and was delicious! You are by yourself with no other houses close by for total seclusion. There were all types of birds around the property as well as tons of butterflies and the coolest blue lizards I've ever seen. The entire place is out of a storybook. Richard is an excellent host and incredibly thoughtful of his guests. We would have zero issues staying at his place again. We rate it a 10/10.
