Great stay!

We were here in July and were very pleased with it. The metro was a quick 5 minute walk, the house was spacious, and Bob’s communication and helpfulness was 10/10. Parking close to the house was a little hit and miss, but this placed checked off all the other boxes for us. Great place!

Our stay was perfect. We were a family group of 68-80 year old brother and sisters, with one family member living less than 0.5 miles from the location, a very easy walk. This is a pristine large house with big rooms and high ceilings that fit us perfectly for visits around the table and living room. The house had everything you may need. Beds were comfortable, the shower hot & strong and the place was spotless. The owner was a delight to communicate with and always answered my questions promptly. We are hoping to stay once more next year.

This is a very quaint home with very clean, organized, and comfortable living spaces. The hosts were amazing with their communication and welcomeness. The home is in a corner of a vibrant neighborhood within fairly easy walking to local taverns, grocery store, breakfast gems in which to eat, and train station. We were visiting for a friend's wedding and had a tremendous time. The hosts have great recommendations in their guest book if you you want a little direction to start. Personally, I enjoyed the amazing shower and, if you will pardon me, the high tech bidet! We loved this place and feel sure you will too.
