Traveling through

This is a simple home in a great neighborhood. Basic little house, bright and clean. If you stay here you’ll want to get out and enjoy some of the neighboring restaurants and music venues.

Older home which has been updated.

This is an older home which has been updated. I’m familiar with the area so I knew the location, but not the neighborhood. We were only there for one night so did not use the kitchen area, but it has been done nice. Beds were comfortable. This home is on a busy street. You can hear the train and cars passing at night. Not sure if there was a party or just people getting home around 2am in the nextdoor homes. When we woke up there was a car in our yard and one in our front parking. There was also a lady doing laundry in the yard behind the home.
