My sister, our elderly mum and I spent 4 days in Paul's home and it is truly a wonderful testament to a renovation well done. The views from the large windows in the living area are spectacular and the central location meant walking off the wines and cheeses was easy (well that's what we tell ourselves). Mum has a mobility impairment and Paul's home had easy access to all areas including the shower. The kitchen is a cook's dream and Paul has a well-stocked pantry, so no need to bring condiments etc if you are planning to cook. The gas operated fireplace was burning when we arrived, creating a cosy welcome and the bottle of red left on the kitchen bench was much appreciated. The ducting throughout keeps the house at a steady temp, so the super thick quilts were a bit too warm and toasty. There is a bit of maintenance needed on the single bedroom ceiling and the fireplace hearth and the living area carpet is pretty well-worn. The 2 recliners in front of the fireplace were a favourite place to sit and relax, but the couch has definitely seen better days! We were a bit surprised to discover that Paul lives in the home and that it is vacated when occupied with guests . . . it felt a little bit like we were intruding on his personal space. But it is a beautiful house in a fabulous location and we feel privileged to have been able to experience our Albany stay here.
