History and charm
The history of the building was interesting and I really appreciated the woodwork and craftsmanship of the house itself. My room was quiet and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful. They asked what I wanted for breakfast and when I would like to have it ready. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.
