This is a very unique property. You could spend hours perusing the various items in any of the rooms. We stayed in late December and enjoyed some snow.
Be ready for stairs, lots of stairs. I found it difficult to get up and down the front stairs with intermittent access to the railings. The planter's probably look great in the warmer seasons, but for a cautious person afraid of falling, inability to hold the railing to go up and down slippery steps was a bit frustrating.
The kitchen was small but the preparation surfaces were awesome. The stove and oven worked great as did the kitchen refrigerator. We had no problem preparing meals for 7, cleaning up and repeating the process. Recycling is encouraged but not really explained. Receptacles for different waste types would be nice.
Additional notes would be to be aware of the winter-time heating method which is woodfired stoves. The building is permeated with wood smoke 24/7 so if you have asthma or other lung issues, this may not be the place for you. Also, the pool table is in a room with beds which makes it a tough place to hang out if someone is staying in that room. The owner lives in the basement which was kind of disconcerting if you don't know that upon arrival. Finally, there are no locks throughout the building including the front doors except for on the bathroom doors. If you are security-conscious, this may not be the place for you.
I definitely recommend this place for families with older kids. There is too much mischief available for little kids to get into. Try reading "Murder in the Rue Morgue" by Poe. The bookmark is interesting.
