It was a beautiful old house and we loved it! I wish the kitchen was a little more equipped.. bigger bowl for salad or a toaster but in general we could use whatever was there happily! It was a little chilly and we didn’t use the back yard but in a warmer day, that would be a great place to hang out and do barbecue. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Nice location close to downtown. Rooms large with king beds. Medium size family room. 1 full and 1 half bathroom. Needs more blankets. Windows not well sealed (historic old house). House gets very cold in winter. Small heaters take a while to work. Coild use a toaster for bagels, bread. We ended up using the oven. Kitchen os of adequate size but needs more utensils. Parking us $50 per day. Didnt know this until after booking. Unable to park on street since area residents take all spots due to fact that homes lack garage or parking space.
