In a city (deservedly) noted for its politeness and public grace, Mary and George were still a standout. We didn't require much handholding, although I'm sure they'd have offered it if we'd asked. The street was quiet, the neighborhood safe with small home gardens to enjoy on every walk, the access easy (via Uber) to charming neighborhoods with their local characteristics, to coffeehouses and good restaurants, and to the fine museums we came to see. Our room and the entire (somewhat dark) Portland-style house were spotless and beautifully kept. Mary and George gave us a great retreat there after a hectic day out and about!
