Overall, offers lots of space for everyone to have their own room, eat and play games together at the table, and relax in the living room. We also enjoyed being close to many attractions including the aquarium, whale watching tours, shoreline village, Queen Mary and USS Iowa, short walk to the beach, and much more.

It was easy checking in and out. Glad I did not have a rental car because the spot that would have been for us was occupied when we arrived. Parking was chaotic to say the least when we arrived. That being said it seemed to be a nice area. We only stayed one night prior to a cruise and arrived late so did not get to explore much. Would stay again though for sure.

Great location, lovely and spacious townhouse with reserved parking spot. Comfortable beds and modernized bathrooms. Washer dryer was nice to have. We used the private courtyard dining area for all our meals, lovely. No dishwasher and light kitchen equipment but we brought enough stuff to easily have a thanksgiving feast for 6. Great stay!

Host was responsive. It is a very charming house, is old but charming. Message to the host ; the chairs in the bedroom just above the main entry door have a strong musky smell and I think could use a good cleaning or replacement. The smell was a bit strong

This was a quaint historic property in great condition. Very clean and the flexible with check in. The location was walking distance to a Mexican restaurant and a short walk to the beach. It was a great overnight before getting to our cruise.
