RTTH Stay
Beautiful cozy old home! Original wood molding, floors and stair case! Unique bathroom and shower! Live plants are a very nice touch!! Front bedroom has street noise but quiets late evening. Emergency vehicle traffic nightly at least once. Beds, bedding and pillows so so comfy!! Parking is accessible on a busy street but not bad. Easy check in and the host was exceptional in responding to our needs or questions! I would definitely recommend staying at The Bell House!!

Lovely Historic Home in Lively Neighborhood
The home has a lot of character. Decorated beautifully and comfortably. Neighborhood is very busy and closed to many activities.
