The yard has a large privacy fence that is great for keeping pets corralled! The space is quite large with 4 bedrooms upstairs. The bed was comfy. The bathroom had everything I needed. There's noticeable road noise from 1st Avenue a block away when outside, but inside the house is super quiet. Communication with the host was great.

The house has wonderful potential, but it had a feel of being in the middle of a remodel. The host was very responsive and friendly. The laundry chute was jammed with towels from previous guests. We had to get towels out of the dryer in the basement. We had buy toilet paper.

It was such a treat to stay in this charming historic home. You feel transported back in time with the amazing architectural details but with all the modern amenities. It had everything to suit our family and dog- a 3rd floor rec room, bunk beds, a great fenced in yard, a dog bed, food/water bowels, plus a Harry Potter-style bathroom under the stairs! The host was very welcoming and gets 5 stars for efficient and warm communication. We left laundry in the dryer after we checked out and she offered to ship it or arranged for it to be picked. A true host!

Loved the charm of this old house. The host was fabulous to work with. I gave it three stars only because it is an old house which still is in the renovation stage and it still needs some work. It worked perfectly for our family. It is not appropriate for those who have trouble climbing stairs. I would give it 3 1/2 stars if allowed to do so.
