Chip and his home were an absolute delight! It was much more like a standard B'n'B stay. Chip was a very gracious host and made such a delicious breakfast every morning and we loved getting to interact with some of the other guests over breakfast. Our room was great and THAT SOAKER TUB IS AMAZING!!! Chip's house is one of the most unique and interesting places I have ever been in my life. Experiencing his house is a must just in itself! I read a lot of reviews before I booked this stay and knew that some thought the area wasn't the best. I can understand what they might have meant at first glance but the area was fine. We walked to the downtown area and back everyday and never had a problem. It's a lower income area but that doesn't mean it's not safe!
