Chip's home is lovely and filled to the brim with antiques. If you're looking for a sparkling clean, fresh, modern space, this place is not for you. However, if you want a more traditional Bed and Breakfast feel, if you like being surrounded by antique furniture, if you want to step into another world for a moment, then this might be the place for you.
The photos made this place seem very trendy, bright, modern, and sparkling clean - I will admit that our expectations did not match the reality. However, this place has a lot of charm in different ways. For starters, this apartment was HUGE and the home is an absolute MANSION. The home itself is beautiful and makes you feel like you stepped back in time to a combination of many different eras. Artwork lines the walls almost everywhere you look, and there are so many little details to appreciate. This apartment takes up the entire top floor so it feels very private. There is so much to explore and so many places to relax - the furniture is all very comfortable (although that amazing leather couch you see in the pictures is no longer in this apartment, sadly.) The four-poster bed is quite comfortable and soft, and covered in bleached-white sheets, while the bed in the other room felt quite firm. Chip supplies all the blankets you will ever need, and a comfortable duvet, but you won't need it because there's an electronic thermostat in the apartment and the place stayed quite warm when we visited in January.
The kitchen has lots of old antique chinaware. There's plenty of pots and pans, cooking utensils, etc. Pretty much everything you need if you look hard enough. However, we felt like we needed to wash each dish before we used it, as some of them were a bit dusty.
Overall, staying in this home was definitely a unique experience. If you like antique shops, old homes, historic restorations, colorful and quirky decor, and traditional BnBs, then you'll have the appreciation you need to stay in this home.
