Apartment Grabowskiego is a 2-bedroom, ground floor apartment in an excellent location just seven minutes walk to Krakow’s Old Town Square.
Our host met us at the apartment, gave us the key and a map of Krakow. It was very helpful to have a quick orientation of the Old Town, nearby supermarkets, corner stores and places to eat.
The apartment seems more like a house with its high ceilings, large rooms and beautiful timber flooring throughout.
The Mercure Hotel Berlin City is an excellent 4-star hotel and an ideal place to stay when visiting Berlin.
Standard King Room
We have a Standard King Room – Room 315 on the third floor. It is a good sized room with bathroom immediately on our right as we enter.
The design of the room and features are excellent. There is a small hanging space and shelf near the bathroom, a full length mirror, pull down luggage rack, air conditioning that can be controlled in our room, a couple of hooks as we come in the door, light switches for main light and lamps near our bed, a little shelf under the bedside ‘table’.
Perfect Days Charles Bridge Apartment has an excellent location – in Prague’s Old Town, moments walk to Charles Bridge.
In May Prague is very busy with tourists but when we walk through the beautiful wooden door at the front of our building into an inner courtyard – we are in a peaceful sanctuary.
The entrance to the apartment itself is via a doorway off the inner courtyard. At the top of reasonably steep steps we enter a lovely large open space that includes the kitchen/dining area, with living room, bedrooms, bathroom and laundry opening off this space.
There are a number of large windows giving lots of natural light and fresh air. The windows open onto the central courtyard.
We stayed at The Central Park Hotel Songdo in Seoul as an STPC (stopover paid by carrier) flying Korean Airlines from Sydney to Prague.
The hotel was located about a 30-minute drive from Incheon Airport and we travelled to the hotel by bus, courtesy of Korean Airlines. On arrival we had a quick and easy check in at Reception.
The Central Park Hotel Songdo is a newish hotel – built in 2014. Our room was on the 9th floor – Room 918 – a very spacious room with two beds – one large bed and one a little smaller. They looked like a King Size bed and a Double bed size.
The room felt quite luxurious with furniture that was quite ornate and decorated in gold tones.
The following is a summary of a trip to see the Fall colours between New York City and Stowe, then returning to New York City via Boston, Plymouth, Martha’s Vineyard, Newport (Rhode Island) and the Hamptons. We recommend a much slower pace to take in all there is to see – and perhaps leave out Bridport and Montreal to concentrate on New England.
Our overnight stops were NYC at the beginning of the trip then Hancock, Stowe, Bridport, Montreal, North Conway, Boston, Edgartown, Newport, Montauk and NYC at the end of the trip.

We chose to stay at the Cambria Hotel Chelsea based on price and location. We were not disappointed and can highly recommend a stay at the Cambria.
The Cambria is a new hotel (built in 2015) and is fresh, clean and modern. Our room was a Deluxe King Guestroom – 1302 on the 13th floor, at the back of the building away from the street, so nice and quiet.
Montauk Manor is an historic condominium resort hotel located on a hilltop in the small community of Montauk on the eastern tip of Long Island (on the south shore or South Fork). There are 140 apartments available – from studios to 3 bedrooms. Apartments are individually owned so each is decorated differently.
We can’t help but be impressed by the grand Tudor Revival building as we drive up the sweeping drive to check in. We receive a friendly welcome at Reception and book into Apartment 412 – a 2-bedroom apartment, with one bedroom actually in a loft.
The Newport Bay Club & Hotel has an excellent location at the corner of Thames Street and America’s Cup Boulevard – just a few minutes walk to the restaurants and shops of the Newport Harbour area (Bowens Wharf and Bannisters Wharf). It is also a short walk to the shopping area of Brick Market Place, and a 10-minute walk to the Tourist Office – where most tours depart from (the bus station is also part of the Tourist Office building).
The hotel is in an historic building – The Perry Mill – a cotton mill built in 1835 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
We have Room 307 on the 3rd floor (lift access) – a one-bedroom suite with queen bedroom, bathroom and a spacious living room plus kitchenette. The suite has big windows with shutters and beautiful timber beams across the ceiling.
The Harbor View Hotel is an historic hotel in a beautiful setting in Edgartown – with views of the harbour, Edgartown Lighthouse and Chappaquiddick Island. It is conveniently located a short stroll to the shops and restaurants of Edgartown.
Arriving at the hotel we were very impressed. The lobby is beautifully furnished in a casually elegant coastal style. There is a wrap-around veranda at the front of the hotel with pretty green rocking chairs – a perfect spot to enjoy the view.
Reception is off to one side of the lobby and we had a quick and easy check in – Room 924 in the Governor Mayhew Wing of the hotel.
Four Points by Sheraton – Logan Airport, Boston
When looking for an affordable hotel near Boston’s Logan Airport we chose Four Points by Sheraton.
We were passing through Boston having flown in from Reykjavik (Iceland) and spent one night near the airport before hiring a car the next day for a road trip down the coast to NYC.
Arriving at Logan Airport we took the free shuttle bus to the hotel, although the hotel wasn’t as close to the airport as we thought – it was 4.5 miles away.
