Our stay in this charming penthouse was just wonderful! I was a bit skeptical because Susan hadn't posted any pictures or description at the time of my booking but I had seen her other listing on the second floor so we decided to go for it. It is a third floor walk up with a back door entrance. Upon opening the door to the kitchen there were fresh flowers that we later learned were from her own garden! The whole apartment was flooded with light. The bedroom had painted white hardwoods, crisp white walls with orange and gray accents...including a super groovy lava lamp!
The bathroom was bright and clean with a large bathtub/shower that had great water pressure. The living room had an inviting, plush leather chair where I spent my mornings reading the paper and having my coffee from the neighborhood bakery. Charming elements also included local artwork and a vintage record player with an eclectic collection of LP's.
The kitchen had a small table for two that looked out onto the adjacent Victorian house covered in gingerbread accents. So quaint!
It was very easy getting around the neighborhood - plenty of places to grab a bite to eat or cup of coffee as well as shop! Plus I was able to use Uber to get downtown and the airport is only a 20 minute ride away.
To our surprise and delight, the highlight of our stay was Susan. She was a wealth of knowledge about the architecture in the neighborhood and gave us a mini tour of the hidden gems. We also got to relax in her peaceful garden which is just across the street. Such an added plus to have an outdoor space to lounge in. It felt like a nature retreat in the middle of the city.

This was truly a great find in a wonderful community. Susan was absolutely lovely. We've already booked again.
