Such a cute and cozy Victorian home! The 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout was comfortable and welcoming, with a full kitchen and the convenience of a washer and dryer. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was there.The communication was excellent, too! My son accidentally locked himself out, and someone was there within minutes to let him back in. We really appreciated the quick response and great hospitality. Would definitely stay here again!
