There were lots of sleeping options with a suite like feel to the loft ( which as a door for privacy using a separate staircase). My grandsons loved using the “secret” second staircase to the kitchen. Outside of some parking issues, I enjoyed this rental. Neighborhood is old but quiet. Host is very responsive! ##### Kathy S.
