Pros: The architecture of this beautiful house was stunning. The other guests were very quiet and respectful. The location was convenient to the subway and to some good restaurants. Owner was responsive and allowed us to check in a little bit early.
Cons: The decor was very cheaply done, very dusty, and VERY racist. On the mantle in our bedroom was an array of antique porcelain and tin banks. The largest of these, right next to a pink chihuahua in a wig, was a blackface/Pickaninny bank (a black face with a cartoonish expression and bright red lips, ready to lift coins into his mouth by a mechanical hand). Downstairs in the common room were multiple objects depicting black boys with watermelons. My girlfriend and I were made very uncomfortable by the atmosphere these decorations created, and we wish we had been warned about it sooner.
