This is a beautiful older home with many modern conveniences and plenty of space for four people. The upper two levels have either hardwood flooring or tiling. There are many large windows giving a great view of the outside. This place has two convenient bathrooms upstairs next to the bedrooms and a third bathroom including a shower on the lowest level. The ice maker and filtered water through the fridge door are handy. Most streaming apps are available on the living room smart TV. The backyard is all fenced in, which is good for pets. The hosts left plenty of useful items, including toiletries, towels, and basic foods such as coffee and pasta. They also responded promptly and helpfully to all our questions. We would definitely stay again!
