Great location, great communication with host and comfortable house except for the sloping floors. It is an old house and the floors are very unlevel which was not an issue for us but could be for some. Clean and comfortable including the beds.

This quaint house could not be in a better location to walk to all of the fun things downtown Flagstaff. It is a little piece of Flagstaff history at 90-something years old and contains many books, games, and puzzles for family enjoyment.

This was not a very good place. All the floors were uneven you had to lift up the back of the toilet in the main bathroom just to flush. It tried to contact the property. Owner did not reply. I would not recommend this at all for anybody or anyone.

Great place! Great location! The best host!

This is the cutest historic house in the best location! The host was a pleasure to deal with, and he was very responsive to my questions. It was wonderful to be able to sit out in the yard and know that my small dog was secure in the property with usas he explored.The only reason I didn’t give five stars on cleanliness is just because the floors are original, which is great, but you have to just know that your socks are going to turn a bit dirty because it is impossible to get original wooden floors perfectly clean. Don’t let that steer you away, just being honest and sharing that part. (Wear dark socks!) otherwise everything was clean and comfortable!
