The Scandinavia

This bed and breakfast space (minus the breakfast) is an entire apartment, about 1,300 sq feet, on the upper level of an historic bank and jewelry store building. The ground level is currently under renovation and will be a very nice coffee shop (think pour over coffee and espresso drinks). The apartment has much of the character of the original 100 year old building, but with modern upgrades. The spacious apartment has one completely private bedroom (with a balcony), a second semi private bedroom off the kitchen, and a living room with fireplace.
