Shining fixtures, flourishing plants and stylish touches light up the kitchen and comfortable living room, with historic homes, museums, huge parks, and diverse neighborhoods nearby. As morning dawns at the House of Peace, sip a reviving tea or coffee in the ornamental garden, as a stone water feature softly burbles. Step into the welcoming home, and relax on comfortable sofas and couches that dot the lower level as other guests arise. Easily plan a day trip encompassing famous city sights over breakfast in the colorfully-decorated kitchen, as pristine, marble-lined bathrooms and the quiet retreat of the home’s study ensure every guest need is met.
