This historical house is situated in the quaint heart of Kingston. The street as the house are quite beautiful and well kept. The best restaurants and shops are but three to four blocks away. On the way, there is a gorgeous ancient church with a cemetery with tombstones dating back to the 1600s. Mercedes was so welcoming. I immediately felt at home. She is attentive and charming, a rare mix of down to earth and true sophistication. Nothing was lacking. My room was large and had all amenities in abundance and lots of guidebooks on the city and the Valley. If it was not for the high ticket price of the Björk concert at the Shed in Manhattan, I would have skipped Manhattan (where I once lived for 15 years) and stayed in Kingston at Mercedes to further explore Kingston and the Valley.
