WONDERFUL B&B in Baltimore! Clean, quaint, very quiet, comfortable accommodations with lovely amenities that included delicious breakfasts and snacks. Several charming seating areas both indoors and out. Linda is the "hostess with the mostess" and goes out of her way to make her guests feel at home. She will happily share the history of the B&B as well as some of the best places to visit and dine in...See More
