Nicole's place was a combination of quirky and funky meets Louis IV design. We stayed downstairs in the bedroom with wrap around bay windows showing the harbor down below. The views are nothing short of stunning. The decorative ceiling in the master bedroom could have been taken from the French Renaissance, and obviously when the house was originally built that room was most likely a sitting room for entertaining guests.
The quirky aspect is that this late 19th-century house is due for a renovation, but for anybody willing to accept the quirkiness, it's a fun place to stay and quite reasonably priced. We walked to the downtown area for dinner with our two young boys and while the hike up the hill is a bit challenging, we counted it as our exercise for the day.
