Glad to have you. Come back again when things are in full swing.

Thanks Tod - you were most welcome and were a great guest as you explored the region intrepidly. We look forward to seeing you again when you need a long vacation.

Alas. I'm full of shame for a pie-less stay. They checked in on an usual day of week (monday) when best pie lady has day off. I made the mistake of letting my guests know - and then promptly forgot all about getting one Tuesday. They reminded me on their last night - too late for recovery - they got the best molasses cookies. I'll never live it down. They were lovely guests otherwise - took all the advice and then explored intrepidly to make the most of their week. They'd be welcome back any time for me to try and improve on my service levels. ;)

Thank you for your stay and your comments. Yes - two flights (to floor 3) - but then the views over the harbor are fabulous and most guests there feel it's worth it. I was a bit surprised about the stove which is full sized on that floor (apartment sized on floor 2) - and it's like a lot of things in the building - in perfect condition (practically never used by guests) and vintage like me. Ruthie accepts the compliments - she has enjoyed the guests as much as they her. Come again soon.

Thank you for these kind words. Clients like this make it a pleasure to make sure their time here is special.

We enjoyed having you in our little corner of the world.

Wonderful, quiet, respectful guest who listened to advice and appeared to have a great time.

We were glad to have you and hope you return soon!

Another wonderful guest who went with the flow and brought an interesting history of travel with them!

Another great guest who came here to relax and new exactly how to do it right.

Quiet respectful and obviously enjoying themselves they were easy to host and would be welcome back anytime!

Well of course the feelings are mutual. I look forward to your return.

Thank you for your kind words!

Another respectful and delightful set of guests determined to have fun and always welcome back.

You had such a busy schedule we hardly got to know you. I'm so glad you used this as your base to return home to family. Please do come again.

Wonderful people - and we'd love to have you back.

Thank you so much for your review - it was pretty clear you didn't want to go! The great pleasure of the place has been in meeting people like you - who are open to suggestions and enthusiastic about the place - and our little piece of heaven on earth. The location is the best in town - as I'm told over an over again and you took full advantage of it - and the apartment is quite comfortable - but there's always things I'll need to do - it's an old building with lots of charm (a euphemism for "projects"). I have to laugh about the "accent" comment as I am (as I explained) from Boston and a Mainer would be offended if I didn't make that clear (!). And, mea culpa, there is no iron (I am fearful of fires) and did have a steamer (for those pesky rinkles) - but the truth is no one asks any more. The twin beds are as advertised and have been quite popular with Sisters, friends traveling together... etc... and I've been asked to stick with them (and they're antique frames - like me - so they don't join together well). Guests who want a queen bed are encouraged to rent 500093 in the same building. You both were a lot of fun and I really enjoyed meeting you in what is, in-the-end, a personal relationship between a homeowner and his guests. And you left the place spotlessly!

I am so glad that we could be the place for your escape from Houston heat. Yes, thank you for reminding people that there are stairs to navigate and once settled you can't get much better views over our classic harbor. And thank you for taking time to write a review - so many others have said the same things in person in our busy summer - but saying it on line really helps.

Thank you for your kind words. As others will note, when there is a time between other reservations in high season that is less than 7 days I may allow shorter stays on a case-by-case basis. I knew from our discussions that you both needed this getaway and I hope that you can come back for a longer stay soon.

Thank you for writing this review in your native language. I had a lot of fun with Google Translate! Good guests keep coming in from around the world and it was a pleasure flying the flag of the Netherlands with the U.S. flag on our own national holiday. Please come back soon and bring your friends - you brought fantastic weather!
