Arleigh’s house is in a charming, walkable neighborhood with great coffee and restaurants nearby. It was too cold for her porch, but inside surfaces, fixtures, and fittings have been sensitively renovated and furnishings are very cosy. All the bedrooms also have good light and decent beds. Aside from a bit of creakiness—unavoidable—her place was perfect for a long weekend catch-up with old friends and family.
