I'm a resident of New York, but needed a place to stay while transitioning to a new apartment that was under construction. I was scheduled to stay for one month but extended my visit by two weeks. I never imagined I would enjoy such a wonderful holiday in my own city!
Linda's home could be a museum. Such thought, care, and creativity have gone into every feature and detail of this magnificent home. Linda generously shares the fascinating history, and if you're lucky, she'll take you on a tour. I felt as though I had entered another era as she guided me from room to room and down hidden hallways. I couldn't stop taking pictures, and recommended that she hire a professional photographer to create a coffee table book or a documentarian to capture the rich history.
She is the ultimate host. I had an accident early in my stay and she had every size and shape of icepack and aspirin on hand to relieve me of my pain. Linda would bring home special treats (fruit, cheese, and a wide range of breakfast fare). She surprised me with a radio and gave me a dehumidifier for my opulent bedroom.
I can't begin to describe how warm and comfortable the room was. I slept so soundly from my first night onward. The bedding was very soft, and there was a fireplace that created the coziest atmosphere. The antique bookshelves were overflowing with literary treasures. It made waking up each morning a challenge. Finally, The kitchen was large and well equipped, and the laundry facilities accessible around the clock. Linda had thought of every convenience.
I brought my dog, Mickey, with me. He fell in love with her! When the bedroom door was closed, and he would hear her moving about, he would bark and jump up and down with glee. She was so kind and gentle with him. I think he will miss her as much as I will. However, lucky for us, we can visit my new friend anytime.
I can't recommend Linda as a host and her beautiful bed and breakfast enough. Enjoy!
