It was the perfect place to get away to. Quiet town, neighborhood to walk in, and a coffee shop/bookstore within walking distance. The place was unique and cozy and we enjoyed the homemade granola and the bonus of homemade brownies when we got there. We did notice that there were no microwaveable dishes (though there is a small microwave) so if you plan to microwave, bring a dish. We just reheated our food on the stove.
