Ulrike’s place is a charming hidden gem situated on Audubon Park with the Tree of Life as its backdrop. There is a spiral staircase leading up to a private, sunny deck to enjoy morning coffee. The place has character to boot with wall-lined book shelves, a non functional though aesthetically pleasing fireplace to separate the sleeping and living areas. The fridge and pantry had essentials plus extra staple items as needed. Ulrike brought back French bread and a whole spread of goodies for us one afternoon as she happened to be out at the store. Toiletries are high quality special treats to use. Pillows are comfortable and shower is nice and hot with a view through the skylight. Ulrike and her husband are gracious, generous hosts who went above and beyond with preparation of bikes for us to use, an air mattress, and a “complimentary” piano concert heard through the walls in the early evening (it was clear we were fans of her family’s musicality). I will definitely be staying here for future accommodations during my next visit for both comfort and kind hospitality. Ulrike and her family’s home are true gems. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
