So glad this was my first sit! Keisha, Cami, Paco, and Fiona were the best hosts anyone could ask for. Apply now if you're at all curious!!! 

Keisha is so organized left very clear and visual feeding instructions which helped immensely. Very easy to chat with and was so accommodating letting me drop off my things early, which turned into the start of my stay about 2 hours earlier than we agreed! Thank you again!!

As for her apartment, she states "an airbnb like" experience, she's selling herself short. I have stayed in dozens of airbnbs and her apartment BY FAR topped them all. The apartment was spotless! The decor is everything (I still need to know who designed her spot!) Plenty of towels available, no lack of any essentials, plenty space in the fridge, that island, the screened in balcony :heart-eyes:! I was so happy, I didn't want to leave. The weather was also great to go for a swim in the pool and there's even a gym if you wanted to check it out!

The location as excellent. I didn't have a car so I took Lyft and while at times it was spotty, it was doable if you don't mind waiting a bit or being strategic with your timing! Everyone I spoke with told me that this was one of the best places to be in Jacksonville, very safe, nearby a very nice shopping area, and pretty easy to get to anywhere else. It was about a $40 Lyft ride to the airport!

Lastly, and most importantly, the kitties, Cami, Paco, Fiona (Cam Cam, Pac-man and Fifi as I called them) were an absolute dream to watch. Cam Cam ended up being my shadow, wherever I went in the apartment she would be nearby (if she wasn't snoozing on the balcony). On the first day, she was sitting next to me on the chair in by the island! Then everyday since, she slept with me either right by my head or by my legs and was a purring machine. She was always down for pets and a good chin rubbing. She was the most level headed of the of the three, but still played and got feisty when the time called for it!

Pac-man was the one that greeted me at the door and was always around for a good petting session and to alert me with meow and his big bright eyes that it was time to eat haha He is so snuggly! He curled up with me like a little baby in my arms, I was so smitten haha Pac-man definitely uses his stature to get his way with the girls, but the girls def stand up to him as well!

FiFi was the one that interacted with me the least, but she still got her hang out and snuggle time in. She is especially vocal when its play time. If ever you want to summon Fiona, pick up one of her favorite toys and she will be there eyes locked on her target! On the day before I left, Fifi assumed the lap warming position for a good half and hour and kneaded biscuits for a good long time. 

In short, I highly recommend this sit especially if you're looking to have your heart warmed by kitties and relax in a gorgeous environment. I will be back whenever Keisha will have me!
