The living room had one dowdy couch. No chairs. The kitchen had just what we needed and up to date appliances. Neighborhood was safe and easy to walk. The backyard had a fire circle with wood available; however it was under trees somewhat. Not comfortable using it. Some general improvements could enhance the stay such as; replace missing slats in blinds. Toilet seat needed replacing, add a living room chair. Outside front Porch chair cushions need replacing. Location of home was close to all places we intended to be. Easy to get to the Hill restaurants and Irish pubs. ##### Julia J. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shannon Walton B.
