Tucked away for the hustle yet easy access to everything. Property had well equiped kitchen, awesom linens, spacious living area, beautiful views. Yes bathroom is a little small but shower pressure was great and water was hot! Walls are indeed paper thin but it was something we could overlook. We found the property charming and hope to stay here again during future visits to the area. ##### isa b.

It was wonderful ❤️ ##### Kristie H. ### 6/10 Okay #### Peg W. 20 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in #### Historic charm, BUT... Lovely location. Some old world charm. In an historic district. The unit worked, but seemed a little bare in furnishings and decoration. We liked being on the first floor., but we had two people knock on our door because there is no one on site to help check in and people couldn't find their units. The biggest problem -- the walls are paper thin and you can hear loud voices, kids crying, people yelling etc. Very Unpleasant. ##### Peg W.
