Beautiful and nostalgic

Our family and extended family were welcomed to this beautiful large home. Enjoyed the extra room to sit and visit. Quiet neighborhood but yet centrally located and able to get around town quickly! Hosts checked in to ensure we were comfortable. Definitely will be back!

Not for us

The house was clean, and the host was nice. But the house is definitely showing its age (wall cracks, broken floors, and an over eager toilet).
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Dec 2024
Hi Melissa, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we were disappointed to hear you were not satisfied. Our home is 130-plus years old but we have maintained the house so that it is still in very good shape. We make sure everything is in good working order and for as old as it is it's in better shape than a lot of the newly built homes that are available as rentals. We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!

Great place with one caveat

This charming, old home is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet surprisingly close, walking distance, in fact, to downtown and the university. The kitchen and bathrooms have everything you may need. We treated ourselves to an afternoon tea in the dining room, making use of the antique tea set. In my experience, all rentals have a drawback or two. In this case, the worst of it was that we found mouse scat in one of the bathrooms and on the kitchen counter on the 4th morning of our stay. The owner stated she had set traps in the past and offered to come over to clean up and set more traps. As the day went on, we found more scat on the stairs and under the sink. I followed up with the owner after we checked out and I have no doubt she is doing something to remedy this problem.
