Just so you are aware, the house is located on a busier street with a railroad crossing nearby. But that also means that there are businesses nearby for your convience such as two restaurants across the street and many others within a couple of blocks.

We had a great time. There was one upstairs bedroom with no spot to hang clothes, but other than that my family was happy with our stay . Loved the character and history of the house.

Hi Candy! It was so nice to meet you during your stay. :) So sorry about the weird closet in the green bedroom. We have plans to finish it at some point and we will try to add some space for hanging clothes. Thank you for your feedback!
