1886
November 20 to December 11, 2026
Michael and Janie were our first sit in San Miguel de Allende. We couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant introduction to this historical city. Their home is in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Central Historico. An excellent Mercado was in walking distance while good bus service or inexpensive cabs got us to very fine grocery stores. Coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants abound.
We were spoiled with a very comfortable guest suite. A strong hot shower took the chill off cool days. We enjoyed an excellent kitchen, beautiful furnishings and great office/TV room. Strong internet eased our daily work chores. At day’s end their rooftop terrace was a perfect place for a sunset glass of wine.Jasper and CaliCat charmed us. They have found a caring couple in the perfect forever home and they know they struck gold. They followed us around like a pair of puppies. Jasper especially, is an insistent lap cat which we found quite comforting. CaliCat, the newest resident, is coming out of her shell and becoming very affectionate. Both have good toileting behavior. Jasper is recovering from a skin condition marked by red spots on his belly. He readily accepted twice daily applications of medicated ointment made easier by the distraction of a lick’n stick treat. His condition was markedly improved by the end of our three-week stay. Jasper and CaliCat are indoor cats with almost free reign of the house and outdoor terraces. Cat doors allow access to two terraces and a small garden. All outside spaces are screened for their safety.
Michael and Janie are generous hosts. We connected minutes after we met and could have shared long conversations. As often happens, business came first. Written and verbal instructions were quite complete and they were very responsive to later questions. Excellent communication from two professionals. They are a concerned and caring couple devoted to their cats.
We highly recommend this sit.
