Gorgeous house which you can enjoy from the outside. From the inside, you can enjoy only the stairwell and your room so it was hard to pick up the historical vibe. My room, #5, has a large black and gold room divider covering most of the window so it didn't match the current light and bright picture. Hosts request guests to strip the sheets on their beds--that was a first for me. Room 5 has a beautiful and bright chandelier as well as a nice sun room in which to relax. Gazebo was cluttered, so I didn't visit it. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood at the beautiful houses. Japan town is near with good Asian food.
