Chip is one of the most gracious AirBnB hosts we have ever encountered. When we arrived at his home (which is a feast for the senses) he was busy lighting a fire in the apartment's living room. He oriented us to the apartment and the house and inquired what time we'd like to eat breakfast. He is a terrific conversationalist but also perfectly content to let guests come and go as they please. He had a covered plate of brownies and cookies on the dining room table and my husband and I were delighted to avail ourselves of a delicious sugar fix as we settled into the spacious and comfortable space. The four poster bed was fun, but the bathroom was incredible. As if the giant soaking tub and larger than average shower were not enough, the soft green faux tin walls and wonderful appointments made this our favorite room in the apartment. In the morning we were greeted by a delicious spread that featured a vegetable quiche, potato cakes, bacon, fruit salad pastries, cornbread, coffee and orange juice. We had a little time before our day's adventures to take in the house's spring garden, walk the garden path across the street (when the roses come out, the spot must be idyllic), and roam the neighborhood. It was a great start to the day. Our second night and morning at the house were equally lovely. Chip really goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome. The numerous antiques, paintings and furnishings help the visitor step back and out of time--perfect for those of us looking to turn the stress down a bit. (And that's not to say that there aren't all the 21st century amenities of cable, Internet and good plumbing. :-) )
