This was a great place to stay for a short visit to Wheaton. It is very convenient to Wheaton College and downtown. Beds are comfortable and house is clean and well maintained. We appreciated the extra touches, like snacks and water bottles in the kitchen and fresh flowers on the table. Be aware that the staircases are narrow.
