Charming!
This historical property was well-appointed, clean, spacious, and in a charming, walkable location. Communication with host was perfect. Be sure to see nearby Washington Square. Nearby is the famous Callaghan’s Irish Bar (best Reuben!) Will definitely stay here again.

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.
