Beautiful place, nicely decorated but would prefer a first aid kit readily available. Surrounding area is not very appealing, but overal, the experience was ok.

This reservation was a total disaster. Expedia never sent me the code to enter the property. I contacted Expedia and they said that Vrbo had to send the info. Vrbo told me that the host was responsible to send the code. The contact listed in Expedia for the property did not work. I left a message with the phone provided around 6 PM and the e-mail did not allow me to send an email. After waiting until 9:30 PM Saturday night, I had to find another hotel. The host called me back at midnight Saturday, and now I am trying to get my money back. Expedia and Vrbo both refused to return my money, and they cannot just absolve themselves of their responsibility for the failure of this host.

Reading - Victorian House

We really enjoyed the Victorian touches all throughout the apartment. Easy communication with owner. All we needed was our clothes as everything else was provided. Would recommend and stay here again.
