I am in for the thought of having an open mind when looking for the places to stay. It is very true that some places which may not be ideal on first consideration but then turn out to be nice in the end.

I think the other important factor is we must have some level of expectations in the lifestyle we want. With that in mind, it is easier to match the place to our expectations. Well, sometimes we may never know what comes round the corner. Be flexible and I am sure we can find the ideal location.

Cheers.
