The property was even better than expected, since photos often mislead. It was an exceptionally nice 1BR house, with a pleasant mission-style feel and a large and very well equipped kitchen. The outdoor spaces are fantastic, including an upstairs wraparound deck with views out to the Sierra Madres in Mexico.Host Deanna was super accommodating and attentive, working hard to make us feel comfortable and secure. Communication was very smooth, and she is truly one of the best hosts we have experienced in our 15 years of extensive world travel.Bisbee itself has the old-west feel, with many original storefronts and miners' homes. The housing is mostly up the sides of the canyon, so lots of ups and downs, with either switchback roads or steps, The smaller your car the better, since roads to most houses are narrow and parking can be very tight. This is probably not a town you will enjoy visiting if your not comfortable with at least somewhat vigorous walks. Lots of great hiking in the area, including a few you can walk to from Old Bisbee. Beautiful views of 3 or 4 different mountain ranges are common, and birding seems to be a major attraction, at least in the Spring.Unless your really interested in hamburgers and beer, dining options in the area might seem limited, depending on how long you stay. There are a few good restaurants, a couple decent cafes, and a reasonably good, if very expensive, French-style bakery.
