The house was in an great location with walking access to the river front, multiple breweries and restaurants. We were able to park the cars and walk everywhere we wanted to go. The house had all of the amenities needed for the weekend. The owner provided details on everything including locating the parking which was down an alley. She was responsive to questions and checked in occasionally just to make sure everything we needed was there. I will be returning to Wilmington and staying at this home again in the future, hopefully in a cooler part of the year. ;-) ##### Allen H.

The location is right in the middle of downtown within walking distance of everything. You could walk past it and not even notice, so it feels like it’s a secret spot. It was also great having the parking space right by the back door. I will say that the outside noise is certainly noticeable late at night, but there are sound machines in both bedrooms that cancel most of it out. I will definitely stay here again! ##### Chip M.

The location is great. Everything in downtown Wilmington within walking distance. A family member is disabled and walks with a cane; there were no issues getting around this property. Great attention to detail; we particularly appreciated the household items provided were all for people with skin sensitivities- Thank you; that is not typical. We plan to go back again. ##### Christi D.

Love the location as its literally walking distance to all of Historic Downtown Wilmington's bars, restaurants and shops. The house is exceptionally clean and equipped with everything you could need and more! We were in Wilmington for Thanksgiving with family and I cooked a couple of sides to bring to our dinner as the kitchen is complete with everything I needed. Our host Jo Ann communicates all the way through the reservation process, upon check in and after. The only thing I would say is you might hear bit of noise coming from some of the bars on a given weekend night that could keep you up late but that is what is expected when renting a house downtown! ##### kelly s.
