A lovely querky house with lots of history. Laurie is a wonderful host and is so helpful with information on where to eat , where to go, how to get there and avoiding the queues.
Essential you like cats as Batman and Robin love people.
Once you have learnt the various foibles you can get your own breakfast (delicious) and come and go as you wish, which suited us perfectly and we had a wonderful time. Locally there are some excellent restaurants and wide choice, so no need to head back to Manhattan. An enjoyable place to stay.
