I arrived after a 16 hour flight from Europe, totally exhausted. I had received a late check-in from AJ and he continued to be in contact with me until I got here about 9 pm.
This mansion at the top of the hill has a "wow" factor from the moment you enter onto Clifton Avenue. The white Christmas lights were covering the trees outside, once I entered the home, I noticed the large Christmas tree was up downstairs. At night, Christmas music can be heard playing in the rooms downstairs. Everywhere you look is steeped in history from the paintings in library to the immaculate kept stairwell worthy of its listing on the national register of historical places. I stayed in the main building on the top floor, with its ensuite with plenty of hot water.
I slept so well, the mattress was more comfortable than at most higher end hotels.
I walked to uptown this morning, 20 minute walk. There is a supermarket five minutes walk from here.
Everyone should experience history in their own lives at least once. Don't miss out on this experience!
