Benjamin’s space is beautiful— there is a ton of art and family heirlooms tracing back for family generations in the common spaces, so if you’re looking for more of a hotel experience, this wouldn’t be your forte. Most furnishings are old but well taken care of, and when ants tried to come in (typical of the locale), Benjamin was very proactive in helping us get rid of them. He’s not there full time, but common spaces are cleaned weekly-ish and he replies to messages reliably. All in all, a solid stay.
