The house share at Franklin, next to a church in this sleepy town, is quaint, clean and charming. Anna runs the operation expertly and the place is immaculate.
We barely saw others, note: there is no lock on your door unless you are inside your room, where there is a deadbolt, which is fine by us.
We shared a bathroom, which was spacious, clean and well appointed, so no need to bring towels or your shampoos.
Town is sparse, but we came for college weekend. There is a wonderful cafe in the center, however, which you should visit for at least breakfast.
Anna's art is throughout the house, but not obtrusively so, merely suggestive - in corners and here and there on mantles. As an artist from an artist family, it was easy for me to appreciate and understand. "Evocative" is how another reviewer described, but it might be provocative to some as it did have some more mature themes at times. It was never intrusive and seemed at home in the airy and light space of this well maintained home.
That being said, this is one of the best run properties I have stayed at and well worth the money. I would highly recommend it! Perfect for cruising through the towns of upstate New York and a most interesting space in and of itself.
