It is unique to be able to stay in such a fun and vibrant neighborhood, yet be in an apartment that is spacious, quiet, and full of light.
Patty hosts with heart, soul, & wisdom. Her place offers many unexpected extras. Like the whimsical umbrella I used while walking about on a rainy day. And ceramic soup spoons for our Thai dinner. And dimmer lights for a relaxing bath, and a guitar. The list is long. We opted to order in because we wanted time to "absorb" the space. If you like whimsy and collections and artifacts plan extra time in the apartment. It is a mini magical museum that fills the senses and the soul.
When she met us to welcome us "home" Patty observed that we were "travelers, not tourists." If you are a tourist, then go instead to a 3 star hotel (though it will likely cost more) and take an elevator to your boring room. At Patty's you will need to climb stairs, but every single one is worth it. By the way, she offered to help carry our bags, we declined.
