Cynthia was such a gracious host! She immediately offered us drinks and we sat and chatted for a bit and then we ventured on to explore the city. The house is lovely with old books everywhere and nicely decorated. The room we stayed in upstairs was large. My only complaints were the creaky, kind of lumpy bed and the doors were a bit loud to open/close - I felt as if I was constantly annoying other guests when I'd move about.
