I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. I enjoyed talking with Laura and looking at all of the bric-a-brac, art and antiques that she has collected. The accommodations were beautiful--esp. the bathroom. The room is at the very top, and has it's own lock, so it was super private. There was also a little sitting area on the 3rd floor just outside of my room. There are 2.5 flights of stairs to the room, so you'll get your steps in!
