We are in a hotel in Queretaro now after wrapping up a almost 7 week stay with Shannon and Jean-Paul. It was a lovely experience. The home is new construction and still being worked on a bit from time to time but the gardens are beautiful and it’s a peaceful setting for Mexico standards. The neighborhood is mixed but the block the house is on has very nice people. We always felt safe walking day or night. There are nice cafe’s within close walking distance and a wonderful Ice / Water purification place a block away and they will deliver ice to you! ( We use a lot of ice ). We walked all over San Miguel from this location with ease and there is the number 1 bus that runs uphill from close by and drops you off less than a block from the house, or you can take it there downhill if you like from that same spot. The “kids”, Chuy and Dweezil are a breeze to handle and take care of and are in fact a bit more elusive than we would prefer as sometimes we did not see them for hours at a time but knew they were close by. Shannon and Jean-Paul were wonderful to meet and easy to work with and communicate with. Their housekeeper, Elodia is a sweetheart. I have no hesitation suggesting this sit to anyone who is looking in San Miguel and has some knowledge and understanding of large gardens.
