Never judge a book by its cover. Once through the unassuming shuddered front door, we were greeted with a living space which seemed to stretch back half a city block. The twelve foot ceilings only add to the sense of space. The living room is comfortable and a wonderful spot for conversation. The dining room and kitchen were similarly inviting and functional and open onto a surprisingly large and private shaded garden. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the laundry is conveniently located at the top of the stairs. Staying in the middle of the Bywater was wonderful with a bakery just down the street and eateries, restaurants, bars clubs and shops scattered randomly within easy walking distance of the house. We would not hesitate to stay here again. James was very responsive and he provided an informational book about the Greatman Cottage and the neighborhood which was incredibly helpful. James, thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
