We wanted something with character for a fun city weekend and we found it!
Far from generic, Michael's "Speakeasy" bnb is packed with character. The drama begins when you climb the stairs and pass through a simple curtain into the cozy foyer. Soft jazz plays, lights twinkle, art and statuary abound - a convincing throwback to the prohibition era. Each room is uniquely appointed, cozy and welcoming. We stayed in bedroom 2B (or not 2b?) where we had plenty of space to spread out. It would be ideal for an extended stay as it has a sitting area and a desk. It's far enough above the street that much of the party scene is muffled, though we stayed on Halloween weekend and did make use of the earplugs provided! The bathroom (private for you) is down the hall, as is a full kitchen. We found lots of amenities and thoughtful touches throughout, and especially appreciated the bathrobes. Along with our warm host, we met an artist from Brazil (painting in the loft) and a Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast from New Zealand, so it's our impression that the guests are as unique as the house. If you're ready for something delightfully different, and you're game for the slightly unusual, this is your place.
