A wonderful house built in 1904. We had a 4 night stay there and loved it. The main floor is like a museum with many unique collectibles from around the world. The top floor bedroom and bath where we stayed is large and felt like we had our own apartment.
Great location and very convenient to many places by foot, bike or car. Many restaurants are walk able within 15 minutes and by car in less than 5 minutes. Also, you can be cruising Grand Ave by car in just about 10 minutes (Cafe Latte or Pad Thai Restaurant = yum!). We loved having coffee and pastries from Tillie's Farmhouse or Kopplin's on the back patio at the house, watching the squirrels run amok, it was a wonderful way to start the day.
Lydia is a wonderful host willing to assist you if you need anything - the house is quiet and peaceful.
Important note for travelers: Not suited for people with very young, curious children or toddlers due to the collectibles and the stairs. Also, if you like to party hard and be loud, you may want to look elsewhere. We are in our 50s and pretty chill, we truly appreciated the serenity and the peaceful vibe of the house and Lydia's hospitality. Next time we're visiting family, we will happily make reservations there again.
Can't emphasize enough, many great eateries in the area and very convenient to the city (or cities, if you will). Easy check-in/check-out. Hospitality: A+++
