We're tucked into a tight-knit residential neighborhood comprised of families with kids, Seniors, working professionals, and Bates faculty and students, so we ask that you bring your good vibes and neighborly spirit. This is a place for guests who want to slow down, sleep well, and feel genuinely at home in a wonderful and cozy neighborhood.

**Parking**
Free street parking is right out front, available 6 AM–11 PM. After 11 PM, our driveway is available- just a heads-up that we're usually moving by 7:30 AM, so an early car shuffle may occasionally be needed.
