I only stayed for a quick overnight and only met Xander. She is very sweet and most welcoming. She asked me what I’d like for breakfast, and even brought a French pot of coffee delivered to my room early before breakfast. There’s a refrigerator and microwave for guests to use, but the kitchen is off limits.
This grand restored B&B is like a jewel in a neighborhood that’s a bit on the shabby side, but did not feel at all unsafe. It’s only about a 10 minute drive to the historic & business district, and there are restaurants within walking distance. Xander took great pride in telling me about all the painstaking work and years to lovingly restore the house to its original grandeur. The old-world style is preserved, yet with all the modern conveniences; and is kept spotlessly clean with a fresh bouquet of flowers in the room. This is definitely a hidden gem and such a great value.
