I would absolutely recommend staying here when in historic old town if you have the opportunity, the house was clean, spacious, comfortable and secure. It had everything we needed, everyone was very happy and the bonus room/living space downstairs worked out perfect. Communication with the property manager was excellent. So so happy we chose to stay here. Hope to visit again!
