(We may've spent as much on wine as steaks that night.What?!) Location and experience are everything, right? To start, we stayed in the Bird of Paradise room. Listed on AirBnb as a private king room in an historic mansion at an amazing mid-week price we were expecting a new experience (this was our first shared-home stay on AirBnb). What we rolled up to was even more impressive than we expected. Like, roll up, assess parking and grab your phone to take pictures impressive. Brian's home is truly a gem. Built in 1905, after the great storm of 1900, the stucco-exterior and gleaming wood interior seem to be part Craftsman, part Victorian. The massive stained glass windows are absolutely amazing. Every time we came in and out we were stopped in our tracks by something new to look at. (Oooh, look at the ceiling! Ooooohhhhh, wait, look at THAT ceiling!)(Side note, dammit, I didn't get a picture of the cherubs playfully galavanting across the parlor ceiling!) But enough about that, you get it, it's fab. Our room was comfortable, clean, and comfortably appointed, but as Brian has only somewhat recently bought the house, I expect some further period touches to be added here and there in the guest rooms (of which there appeared to be possibly six). Our bed was gorgeous and fit the room so nicely, as did the sofa, which perfectly matched the pretty fireplace tile. But let me tell you a secret. Though the bathroom for the Bird of Paradise room is private, yours and yours alone, some might be put off by the fact that it's just around a corner from the room. Don't be!!! That bathroom (with what appears to be the original clawfoot tub) is AMAZING. The bathroom itself is Victorian-era-small, but what it lacks in space that shower and bath make up for. That is literally going to be the best shower you've EVER had in your life. Really. Then you'll find yourself soaking in (sweetly supplied) bath-salt-scented water before you know it, because the tub is sheer heaven. I am waxing ecstatic for a reason, y'all. Apparently some of the rooms have Jacuzzi tubs. Color me "meh" about that, you want that clawfoot! So as it's not technically a B&B, but an AirBnB, there were no breakfast options. We had use of a butlers' pantry to store adult beverages & leftovers and such in the fridge (and leftover adult beverages, let's say I am not a fan of the Shiner berry-beer-thing we tried), though sadly we looked for a Keurig when we noticed a box of coffee pods in a cabinet, but found no Keurig or other coffee pot for guest use. Pooooor us, having to hit the Strand for coffee & breakfast. I lived through it. ;) I hope Brian and his family ALL the best in this endeavor, it was such a treat to stay in this stately old lady's warm-wood embrace. (Brian, my daughter is living just behind you and down a few homes on Market, would you like a house manager who LOVES people, loved your home, and loves to bake blueberry muffins? She's a grad student, so available and affordable. lol)
