Chris is the new gold standard of hospitality. I simply cannot think of anything he could have done to make the stay better. Some of the attributes of my stay included:
- Chris greeted me and helped me carry my luggage up the stairs.
- The room was spacious and immaculate.
- A chocolate sat atop clean towels on the bed. A little bottle of wine, San Pellegrino lemonade, pitcher of water, and glassware for all sat atop the fireplace mantle.
- On the desk was a laminated write-up of the history of the town and a practical guide to the city and flat as well.
- The whole flat was some of the best interior design I've seen... nothing fussy or overdone, but dignified, thoughtful, understated, clean, and lovely. Could easily be the setting of a Jane Austen film.
- Chris respects the space and privacy of his guests and is a consummate gentleman, professional, and gifted host.
- The continental breakfast was simple, well laid out, and delicious. One of the few places I stayed in the UK without the bane of instant coffee.
