I had wanted to stay where I could hear the birds chirping outside in the morning and that was cozy. This apartment was nice in the summer in that we could sleep with the windows open and could indeed hear the birds in the morning. The apartment is located beneath the main house of the host/hostess with a deck extending outside of the entrance where you can sit outside. The apartment is furnished with art and antiques. You can walk to downtown, which we did, and there are many great restaurants around. Elizabeth is a great host and present if there is anything you need during your stay. She also struck me as very thoughtful, leaving water, juice, and tea for guests to use in the apartment.
