We had a very enjoyable time. Yes it was cold outside, but we were comfortable inside! The LLBean stores and other outlets and restaurants were 2 blocks away. Our leisurely mornings around the kitchen island were so nice. The kitchen was better supplied than we had expected. Lots of simple supplies we didn't have to bring in from a store, like...coffee, tea, sugar, creamer, milk. It helped make our mornings so nice! It's definitely a place to which I would love to return!
