What makes this property unique
Two bedrooms, one bathroom - thoughtfully designed for comfort within the charm of a century-old home.
The bathroom is cozy (as you'd expect in a historic house), but we've made sure every convenience is there. We've added a makeup area in each bedroom to give you extra counter space and room for getting ready—no fighting over the mirror!
And for those seeking an unforgettable experience, there's an outdoor tropical shower in the garden. Imagine showering under the open sky, surrounded by lush greenery—it's one of our guests' favorite features.
The kitchen door opens directly onto a comfortable wooden back porch, creating a seamless flow between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity. This is eclectic living at its finest—joyful, colorful, and utterly authentic.
As dozens of guests have shared in their glowing reviews, the garden is where the magic truly happens. This isn't just a backyard—it's a transformative outdoor sanctuary that guests describe as "therapeutic," "peaceful," and "like a retreat somewhere far away."
