Stayed here during between Christmas and New Year's. I was going to give it only a 4 star review, but I realized that would be unfair as I tend to shy away from Bed and Breakfasts in general. They can be a little too intimate for my taste. (breakfast with strangers, etc) However, if I reviewed the place as if I was into B&B's, it makes more sense to give it five stars.
First of all, you can't beat the location. You go down the street a half a block, take a left and go over one more block. There's the subway which is only one stop from a main hub. (or you can find plenty to do along this line. For example, the Underground Mall is located on the Green line.
The interior is very nicely done. Not over the top. We stayed in the room with the toilet being separated only by a sliding door. I think this room would be more comfortable for someone staying there by themselves, or for a couple who has been together for 20 years. We were able to check out the other rooms before others arrived, and I can say I was jealous! They are all nice rooms, with two opening up to a patio. As another poster said, a nice touch is the built in radio. The volume is controlled by a main switch. Makes for a very relaxing atmosphere while getting ready or just hanging out.
The breakfasts were VERY good. It wasn't just the actual taste, but also the presentation. Really felt like being in a fancy restaurant. I wanted to steal the dinner settings and the slippers they provide you with. (I didn't)
They also have a very cute dog who doesn't bark at you or anything. Just minds his own business and looks all adorable sitting by your chair. Doesn't beg, just lays there. (Probably secretly hoping you'll drop a crumb) Wanted to steal him too.
The owner was very helpful in suggesting things to do and making us feel welcome without "hovering". read more
