One likes to keep discoveries like this to one’s self and possibly a few very close friends, so I am of two minds in writing this review.
Staying here is more like being adopted into the family. We had free run of the delightfully restored Victorian survivor of the 1906 quake. This includes the bright, ample kitchen, pleasant front room and, of course, our own room. The full bath across the hall has another “water closet (toilet room) right next to the bathroom. Our room was very spacious, well-appointed and furnished, and had a large, comfortable bed and excellent closet space. There are little touches like a candy dish and fruit, along with a small selection of wine in the room
Add to this several good and intriguing restaurants one block away, a quiet neighborhood and free on-street parking and you have an excellent location and accommodation. City buses stop at the corner right at the bottom of the stairs so transport is no problem either.
As if things could not get better, there is Marion. A most gracious and flexible host, she is cordial and interesting and you immediately feel at home in her presence. She is a font of local and city knowledge and will suggest some unusual places to visit. She was very accommodating to us and our 18 month old granddaughter who visited us along with our daughter a couple of times. Marion even encouraged our son-in-law to park in the area saving them several nights of exorbitant fees downtown.
A+ in our opinion.
