Xavier was a wonderful host - charming, gracious, welcoming and courteous. We enjoyed chatting with him and getting to know him a little, but also appreciated that he was non-intrusive and gave us our space (not always my experience with b&bs!). The room was great - a winterized porch area but we had no problems being warm enough. Location is very convenient to the train and it's an easy ride to manhattan. The room is small, might be more ideal for one than for two, but since we were out and about so much it really didn't affect our trip. Kitty is an added bonus. Definitely recommended.
