I stayed for a week in mid-April and loved the location -- lots of breeze and views up on the third floor in an older neighborhood that is transitioning from little bungalows to some well-designed loft-style homes.
Aileen provided a lot of thoughtful touches that made it easy to be comfortable. The kitchen is well provisioned and we cooked there most days. The appliances are older but operated just fine. She made a point of checking in throughout the stay.
The interior is eager for a rehab. The flooring and windows are older but clean and serviceable. Not a problem unless you like everything to feel new.
The most important thing to know is that the access stairs (probably the servant's stairs originally) are narrow and steep. It's an instructive experience carrying luggage up and leaves me wondering how anyone ever carried a breakfast tray up similar stairs. Great exercise but not appropriate for anyone with mobility issues (or a large suitcase!)
Access is through the master bedroom which is just another part of the quirky experience. For people who expect to come and go at different times, it might be awkward.
I enjoyed walking the mile + over to Tennyson to visit the BookBar and the half a mile over to Rise and Shine biscuit cafe. Lots of other local haunts are worth exploring on foot. Parking was never a problem even on the street sweeping days.
