Lovely and comfortable place to stay
Clean, well decorated, nice location, great communication. Minor note; could use some noise cancellation in the kitchen. There's a locked door that I am guessing leads to a stairway that connects the apartment to the lower floor where the owner stays. It's a bit loud at times (tv noise), but this issue doesn't really extend past the kitchen. Could probably hang a moving blanket over it and defeat that issue pretty easily.

Excellent place to stay!
Totally quiet, lovely older home. Lots of space with great internet. Beautifully decorated. Lots of space. Owner on site if needed. Very accommodating! No crazy post it notes saying what we could not do as in some places. Everything we needed was there. Jetted tub a plus! Close to everything. Will stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you Amber!
