Very nice place to stay. We drove to historic downtown, but it is within walking distance. It’d be a long walk, but walkable. Overall, great place to stay, I would recommend.

The fridge had a door not shut alarm that would randomly go off. There was a cricket somewhere in the living room chirping, we just couldn’t find it. It was fine and did what we needed.It is a very quaint house, I lived on 3rd St. 50 years ago and that quaint little house definitely brought back memories.

Great property in historic neighborhood. Listing was accurate. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. I stayed there by myself and felt very safe and comfortable in the neighborhood. I had a last-minute change in travel plans and needed to add on a night. The host was very responsive and accommodating to my request. Will definitely stay here again!

Kitchen has a Kurig so be sure to get pods.The house is functional as a historic property but we really only used it as a place to sleep while in town for work. Getting ready with 3 people and one bath was slightly difficult as the bedroom didn't have a mirror so everyone required the bathroom, but the beds were comfy.It is a nice part of town, near the college and on a quiet one way street.

Tidy and convenient.

Home was as presented. Tidy, cute, clean with clean towels/linens and comfy bed and old world character. We walked each day to the historic district which had shops, restaurants and pubs. Interesting old neighborhood with lots of history and charm. Jeff , our host was very communicative. Easy check in/check out.

4th of July Stay

The place was lovely. I was only blocks from the parade route, so the doggo and I got to enjoy some of the festivities. It was close to the dog park and the neighborhood is lovely to walk any time of day. The house had warm lighting (important to me), comfy pillows and a beautiful backyard. I'm not sure if this is mentioned in the notes for the house, but the only bathroom was on the main level (makes sense, just caught me off guard). I'd stay again!

Overall, the property was very nice, but the front steps were uneven and both my sister and I tripped coming into the house. My sister scraped herself up quite badly. You may want to consider getting the steps fixed or at least putting up a handrail for the steps.

St Charles Frenchtown House

Really appealing, quaint property 15 mins easy walk from Main Street. Lots of character- antique furniture, squeaky floors and a scary basement! Be aware that the bathroom is downstairs so you may need to navigate steep stairs at night. There is also not a dishwasher. (Hence not a 5 star review) Nice little patio and lovely neighbourhood. Overall, very much enjoyed our stay

Not clean or maintained. Charming character.

I'm not a clean freak, or a jerk, but I do expect a rental property to be clean and properly maintained for more than a nice hotel. This property was neither clean nor maintained. We notified the property manager, they were responsive, offered to clean while we were there, but that would have been too disruptive. Charm and character if the house and neighborhood are wonderful, the location is great, the backyard is nice. However, all of these great features are overshadowed by the lack of cleanliness and maintenance. There was a bag of garbage on the back porch when we arrived. Kitchen cabinets are yellow on the inside and dirty on the outside. Baseboards, trim, door casing and doors were dirty and dusty. Baseboards in the kitchen were especially disgusting. Smoke detector in the kitchen is missing. Bathroom was dirty, dust and hair on the floor and walls. A window blind in the dining room is missing. Window along the stair is broken and filled with spray foam. Refrigerator/Freezer was not clean. Very disappointing for our stay, hopefully they take this feedback and do better. The property has potential to be nice if it was clean and properly maintained.

Nice location

The location of this property was the best characteristic for us - it was only a mile from the main area of Main street in downtown, or less than a 20 minute walk. Loved this! We had a vehicle, but the area is quiet and nice for walking. The outdoor patio was also cute and it has plenty of parking. Felt very safe. I think others mentioned the bathroom being on the first floor and the bedrooms on the 2nd. While a tad awkward, we knew this when booking and it was not an issue for us. Kitchen was pretty well stocked. Coffee was appreciated. As far as the cleanliness, it is an old house and could use some more love and time put into it. The high traffic areas seemed clean - new linens, etc. and kitchen was clean, but there were cobwebs on occasional walls, dead bugs in light fixtures, very dusty/dirty window sills, and places that a deeper clean would fix easily. There was also a good amount of peeling and scratched paint, just showing that the property did not have a lot of energy put into maintenance. We were there for a full week, so these things were more noticeable than if it had just been a night or two. Communication from the management company was prompt, but not always helpful. For instance, half way through the stay (let's say Weds) I asked if we could check out at noon instead of 10 am. We were asked to follow up multiple times and ultimately did not receive an affirmative answer until the evening before. It was fine, but felt disorganized. Otherwise, good stay

We asked to check in just a bit early and they were not accommodating. While we were waiting outside the property waiting to check in, the cleaning crew showed up 30 minutes prior, and did not appear to do much cleaning. I’m unsure why they couldn’t have accommodated. Also when the crew left they didn’t even acknowledge us to say we could go in. One of the TV’s in the bedrooms was nonfunctional and when I asked for assistance, they sent maintenance out and ended up providing a Roku, but expected me to signup for an account vs them providing the service. So never had any television in the room for an 8 day stay. Had to request additional toilet paper and paper towels because they only had one extra of each for the 8 day stay and 1 dish towel. They surely didn’t want to provide any extras unless requested. In my opinion, the house was bare minimum for the price and definitely no frills. No dishwasher and laundry in old basement of which you really don’t want to access. Okay if you were staying a day or two. Otherwise I would suggest finding a better option. Wasn’t overly impressed.
