Took a chance on this booking as description was so brief. I am SO glad I did - it was fantastic for me! Things to know: Ivy is a fabulous old house turned funky chic while preserving original charm. Rooms are spacious with high ceilings and lovely old hardwood floors. Bathrooms are modernized just enough: little old-fashioned sinks, but roomy showers with deluxe heads. Staff are wonderful: I felt like part of a family. Security throughout the night, very reassuring. Restaurant serves a lovely breakfast (included) and the barista remembered my orders after my first day. I needed to work, and found such great spaces throughout the house, I hardly needed to leave! Location is excellent IF you like activity: between two very trendy streets, SO much in walking distance, but close to old neighborhoods, so feels safer than town. That plus the restaurant means there was noise, but happy noise! Just bring ear plugs and be ready to enjoy the energy. The staff will take such good care of you.
