We were on a family road trip and stayed here on the road from Toronto to NYC. I was a bit suspicious about the neighbourhood after reading a report on here about how “terrible” it was. We’re spoiled Norwegians, used to everything being super safe and high quality. Ok, we did pass a few rundown houses on the way (not at all scary though), but the neighbourhood Lip Mansion was in, is simply beautiful. My husband went running in the morning, an found the whole area to be real nice. Upon arrival we were welcomed by Rob in the most heartfelt and gracious way possible. We were even upgraded to the suite, in the cutest annex right next to the house. The very spacious loft has a cosy and hip décor with a French touch, with a spa room and small but well equipped and smart kitchen. A washing machine & dryer was a great plus when on the road. There were even fresh flowers on the table and soft music on. Felt like coming home. Beds were great, everything perfectly clean and lovely. We arrived late, and got super tips on where to order take out. We shouldn’t have eaten that late though, cause breakfast next day was amazing! Pancakes, fruit, eggs any style, all home cocked by charming and very professional Jacob. When we left the next day our teen age daughter said: “I wish we could stay for at least a week. I’d like to live there, and I’m gonna miss them.”
