Leppy is a very helpful and welcoming and has lots of tips for what to do around town. Her guest apartment is on the ground floor of her house and is cosy and homely. It's a 15 - 20 minute walk from the wharves (where the main bars, restaurants and tourist-y shops are) and probably a 15 minute walk from the nearest mansion, so I would recommend doing as I did and hiring a bike ($35 for 24 hours).
