Several good restaurants within a few blocks-we enjoyed lunch at 1866 very much. Home was spotless clean & comfortable with quality finishings & bedding. Strong WiFi & good water pressure in the superb walk in showers. Victoria was very helpful & quick to respond. The only negative is that the 2nd bedroom is in the loft on the opposite end of the downstairs bathroom so you have to go downstairs & across the house to use the 2nd bathroom. Also, we felt the wooden stairs were a bit slick so my Mom used the downstairs sofa bed instead. She was very comfortable there she said. The primary suite however is flawless. Use of the washer & dryer was also a bonus. ##### Carianne R. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve K.
