Katherine is a superb host! Her breakfast was the BEST of the 9 places we stayed at. A wonderful mix of fresh fruit, yogurt with granola, fresh squeezed OJ, coffee and a hot breakfast! The bed was comfy and the bathroom was huge. Katherine was very helpful on suggestions for live music and drew us a map of options. It’s an easy 20 minute walk to the city with good sidewalks.
