#### lovely

my stay at 500 Steps, March/April 2018, with Karen as my hostess, was lovely. The room is just as charming as the pictures shown here - little knick-knacks for charm and lot's of room for your own stuff :) As to Karen, she was sweet, thoughtful and generous with her off-time, we went shopping a few times and it's so pleasant to go with someone familiar to the area. Carmen comes in once a week to clean - HEY, life is good at 500 Steps !! many thanks; Gwen
