Charming Retreat in Historic Neighborhood

This is a darling place to stay. High ceilings, tall baseboards, pocket doors. Located in a lovely historic neighborhood filled with “house porn” (beautiful houses and architecture) to enjoy. A fun neighborhood pub just blocks away. Very quiet. Pet friendly. The host was a dream.
