Short stay in Baltimore for Conference
We (three academics attending a conference) stayed at Lancaster House in May. The house was perfect for our needs - clean, well appointed, and in a funky neighbourhood with lots of good restaurants nearby. We were able to either walk to the convention center or take the water taxi - which was a real pleasure. The house has good internet connection and plenty of space to work in. We would definitely choose to stay here again.
Super cool place, right in Fells Point, but on a side street so a little quieter. The house is fun
I will definitely stay here again. Had a really great weekend. The house has everything you need and really lets you feel like you are part of the neighborhood. It exceeded my expectations!
A home, instead of a hotel
My family and I rented Lancaster House to attend a wedding in Baltimore. We took the water taxi to the reception. The hotel that everyone else was staying at was within walking distance so we could attend the after party easily. We saved a good amount of money renting the house instead of staying at the hotel.
The house sleeps 6 easily. The beds are comfortable. One room is a loft that overlooks the kitchen. We were able to walk pretty much anywhere we needed to go. We took the train to D.C. Wish we could have spent more time out in Fell's Point but did have a good meal at the Admiral's Cup.
Note that the stairs are a converted spiral staircase that can be slippery! Parking was also a challenge for those who are not used to city parking.
Will stay again if we were heading back to Baltimore. Thanks Richard!
awesome house, awesome location!
My group and I really enjoyed our stay! The house had plenty of space for a group of 6 with comfortable sleeping arrangements, spacious shower and a great outdoor seating area. The location was perfect for both daily activities and fun nightlife! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Richard for sharing your home with us!
The perfect place
We were over here from England for a family wedding and the reception was in Fells Point. The house was in the perfect position with easy access to restaurants, bars, shops and the harbour as all in walking distance. I had never rented a house before but this was just right for 3 of us though there was room for more. Richard was wonderful and patient answering all my queries beforehand as I was slightly nervous about renting. The house was very comfortable and cosy and we had everything we needed. It felt like a proper home not just a rental home. Not only did Richard leave a welcoming vase of flowers but he had kindly bought a few goodies for which I had requested and would not take payment which was so kind of him. He was also able to offer another house for us to rent for our children which was a 5 minute walk away which belonged to a friend. Again a fabulous house. We would definitely recommend renting Lancaster House. Thank you Richard.
Fabulous Location
Rented the Lancaster house for a girls getaway baseball weekend trip. The location is awesome, just steps away from all the bars & restaurants in Fell's Point. Richard was very easy to deal with and the rental process was easy. The layout of the rowhouse was a little challenging for us -- those are steep stairs when you've had a lot of cocktails! However, it was nice to have the additional room afforded by the rental. Would definitely visit again!
