We were met by Norm and he gave us a very clear description of the mansion. We were made to feel very at home and sensed that we were welcome to use everything that he provided. There were even fresh cut roses for the rooms! The house was very well appointed and is situated in a private gated lane that comes off Deans Avenue (which is one of the four principal avenues that make up the city square mile). The house was very quiet. There was no perceptible intrusions of city noise which in part would be due to the great Hagley Park that is but a few meters from the mansion. We were grateful to our host for sharing his beautiful house and offering us such friendly hospitality.
