Summary: We really enjoyed staying in a historical house in a lovely residential neighborhood although walkable close to a great bakery. We were having family-and friends- who live in the area over for meals and visiting so the really great-and big-kitchen and dining room-and multiple reception rooms were really great for us. We also enjoyed being able to have four bedrooms available.Natalie was very responsive to any questions, etc, that we had and we appreciated that.
