As a writer, I found the place to be inspiring, surrounded by floor to ceiling bookshelves, filled with classics and other contemporary writing. The place is clean and the beds comfortable. Although we didn't stay enough to enjoy it, the backyard, is nice and peaceful with a large tree providing shade. It does not have a kitchen but it does have a small fridge which suited our needs perfectly. Hanne was welcoming and brought us fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning which was a nice touch. The only slight set back for us, and it wasn't much of one, was the parking late at night. It was difficult to find street parking and parked a few blocks away. It's a safe neighborhood so the walk back to the place wasn't too bad. Much more parking available during the day. Make sure to read the signs for street cleaning and/or towing zones. Other than that, we were pleased with our choice and would recommend it to others.
