Alice was an excellent hostess! I met with her once during my stay, and she was very accommodating and gave recommendations on things my husband and I could do and see while in town. The property is gorgeous; Alice maintains it really well and it really stands out when you pass through the neighborhood. The main house has a unique history, incredible decor, and plays host to various events and soirees, of which my husband and I were lucky enough to be a part of during our stay.

The Bywater neighborhood is by far the most unique neighborhood I have ever stayed in. There are shops, restaurants and bars scattered throughout, though some are seemingly hidden among residences, which adds to the charm. I never once felt unsafe, even walking late at night.

The Treehouse was easily accessible through a private back gate that led to the backyard area, which is also very nice to spend a quiet morning. The Treehouse itself is a cozy upstairs room in the guest complex with a nice bathroom, a window AC unit and a large, comfy bed. I also really liked the mini fridge, table wares and seating area. The decor is really charming and we really liked that Alice provided edible decor in the form of tangerines and pomegranates. She also provides books for entertainment, which we enjoyed picking up and reading in between our excursions. We weren't able to figure out how the wifi works, though we didn't try too hard, as it was nice to disconnect while we were there.

I would definitely recommend The Grand Treehouse!
