We enjoyed our stay at Eric's place - it's furnished like an upscale boutique hotel, and the terrace overlooking the river is wonderful. It's on a block of historical homes and the neighborhood is beautiful and peaceful, while offering great proximity to the the waterfront, restaurants, and the town of Beacon just across the bridge. Eric was a kind host (even left us a bottle of bubbly in the fridge since we were celebrating our anniversary!) He answered questions instantly, and gave us recommendations for restaurants & sightseeing in the area. The only downside that travelers going in the summer months should be aware of is that there's no A/C in the apartment - just a ceiling fan and a fan by the bed. We had the bad luck of traveling during a very hot weekend, so nights were very uncomfortable - but the bed itself is VERY comfortable so in cooler months this would be an ideal place to stay. Even without A/C we really enjoyed our stay overall, it was a great weekend, thanks Eric!
