The place was really cute. It’s exactly how it’s described and showed in the pictures. It was actually very quiet for the area that I was in so I was comfortable . The host answered any questions within reasonable timing the host also checked in on me.and left me coffee and snacks ! I would definitely stay again.

Thanks you! I am glad you enjoyed your stay. You were a great guest! I look forward to hosting you again!
This is a beautiful historic home in a gorgeous neighborhood. This home is lived in and separated into apartments so keep that in mind. I will say the constant signs for cleanliness can feel daunting if youre someone with actual ocd just a heads up for my disabled homies out there haha.The host was very kind and communicative and they responded swiftly to all messages. Awesome water pressure too! There is a bathtub and tons of closet space! As well as an iron and ironing board which I needed and was pleasantly surprised by.
Clean,plush towels, everything well supplied, helpful and responsive, totally satisfied and would choose to go back to. JL
