This large upper unit was perfectly located off 235 so we could navigate to all our events easily. Street parking was readily avaliable. The charming exterior has potential to be more upscale with improved landscaping. Our older guests felt a bit insecure on the outside steps without railings at the very bottom.The open concept living area was very spacious with comfortable furnishings. The dinning area easily sat 8 people. The kitchen had plenty of counter space. Cabinets had lots off minor issues with hardware, but overall functional. A nice little coffee bar was also available with some supplies. All 3 bedrooms had closets available. The center bathroom had vanity cabinet space as well. Both baths were dated and showed wear but relatively clean and supplied with soaps, TP, and towels. A little office nook and outdoor upper patio with newer furnishings. The place was a bit dusty, had cloudy windows, and the patio had lots of fall debris. There was a roof leak in the kitchen and one window frame during a storm. We contacted the host and he thanked us for letting him know.Overall a very nice place to stay.Would definitely recommend a stay.

Beautiful historic unit
This unit is a nice little historic two-flat and was great for our stay. It is in great condition and has everything we needed. Only downside is there is only on-street parking. There was plenty so it wasn't any issue, just be prepared.
