old room high price
The bathroom needed some updates. The room seemed a little old and SO did the bed (i swear). I think the price was slightly too high considering these issues.

kind hostess period details private parking
Lydie greeted me with kindness making me instantly feel at home. The house features lovely period details with art and thoughtful touches everywhere. My room had everything i needed and proper-sized, fluffy bath sheets. I secured parking directly with Lydie at a reasonable rate in the grounds of the house.
