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.
