Great little place for 6 of us, Four college kids and my wife and I. Very quaint and fun place to stay. Loved the attic room and the seating area for us to hang out after a long day of sight seeing. Location was great as well. Very walkable to everything we wanted to see and do along with the vicinity to the central station.

We loved this cute little house! It was perfect for our family. A great spot if you have kids who need more privacy than a hotel gives you. And the location was perfect—everything was in reasonably walkable distance.

This is a great place from which to explore the area on foot! There is no “parkering” on site and we initially found it confusing to find a spot to park that had a charger. There are several apps that help. The house was charming, but the third floor proved too difficult for those in their 70s. The VRBO site’s images in the bathroom listing suggests 2 toilets. There is but one. If you want a hotel-like accommodation, stay in a hotel. This was great for us!If you want to recycle, you’ll have to carry it off site.

The location was excellent and a block away from groceries and restaurants.Kitchen was clean with plenty of plates etc. all appliances worked.Beds in upper attic were difficult for our group of elderly folks. That fact should be noted in property descriptions. Despite that we enjoyed our stay very much!

Renters Beware! The listing for this property is not accurate. Despite what the listing says the house only has ONE TOILET, not two. There is a room on the first floor with a shower, sink, small washing machine, and hot water heater, but not toilet. The only toilet is across the hall in the half bath. While the location of this house is excellent, renters need to be aware of the issues. -It is extremely small. The square footage was not listed for a reason-the stairs are small and steep, which was mentioned. But they are so steep you can’t get medium sized suitcases up them. -the ground level has a nice sized bedroom but the entire ground floor has a musty smell that causes issues for multiple family members. -the half bath often smells of sewer gas. We could only stay one night as a result of these issues and have asked the host for a partial refund given what we experienced. Host has not been cooperative.

Super unique property. 3 levels with a tight staircase. Well equipped kitchen. Close to everything. One bathroom- but shower is separate from toilet with both areas having room. To change and a sink. Downstairs has the bathrooms and a large bedroom with a queen bed and futon, next floor has the kitchen and living room with pull out mattress to put on Couch. Upstairs has double bed in curtained area, kids bed in curtained area and double bed in enclosed bedroom. We were very comfortable and the host checked in several times to ensure we were ok. Within easy reach of hiking trains, funiculars, restaurants and water

The host was very responsive to respond. Communication within the company caused a few problems but they were willing to make corrections. The washer /dryer did not work and they did not try to get it working which was a disappointment to us. They were willing to assist to get the hot water working. The house was very cute and exactly what we wanted otherwise. Great location.
