We were very comfortable here. Understand this is a historic home. The nitpicking of reviews doesn’t fairly represent the whole. Let me explain:•The hook on the bath door is perfectly adequate. It’s not an outhouse. Beautiful original glass door knobs. Surely your stay is with people you love, not strangers.•One time there was a bug in my own home too.•The mirrors were great. Amazing full-length mirror in the queen bedroom. •It smelt fine. Every space has its own smell. Geesh. My parents’ home smells funny to me. No odor. Just a clean space.•We felt safe in this older neighborhood with older homes. It will not look cookie-cutter or modern. Note: Many of the homes appear to be under process of update as well. Don’t be hating on older homes, neighborhoods, or the people that live in them. Bring a sound machine or white noise. There is a dog but we didn’t hear it. Slept like a baby. This home is full of character and charm. The space is a plus. 100% better than a cramped hotel. Especially comfortable beds, which are hard to find in many vrbos. Slept amazing. Most importantly it was clean. We had zero issues with the older character of this home. Very clean and very comfortable being in this space. Older homes have older construction and charming features but there are the appropriate updates. Communication flawless. You can tell the host cares about those that stay here. They provide for your comfort with thoughtfulness. I would recommend this home without hesitation.
