It was a quick trip just two nights. Place was just as listed with great charm. We ate out so can't review the kitchen but seems to have everything needed. Thanks for letting us share your house. Great neighborhood very walkable.

Great location/Cute

We loved the place, great location and very cute apartment. Would stay there again. Only suggestion was maybe a chest drawer in the bedroom or more hangers in the closet to get the clothes out of the suitcase. Most likely back in June.

Weekend stay

The apartment was cozy, clean and near great restaurants & shops. I enjoyed running through the quiet neighborhoods and looking at the beautiful homes & scenery. We were there for a jazz festival near the river and the apartment was only about 3 miles from the area! Our only hiccup was figuring out the keypad to the door. Sometimes it took several times to lock. Regardless, we highly recommend this apartment.

I felt like a Single girl again!

What a lovely property in a charming neighborhood! St. John Street with all the shops and restaurants you could possibly want was only a one-block walk away! The bed was so comfy and the area so quiet that I slept well through both nights of my stay. The only criticism I had was in the small bathroom Either replace the glass shelf over the sink and/or provide a small table/organizer to store toiletries for easy access. Great stay, great neighborhood, great apartment, and great place too!

Very nice place

This was the cutest place in the nicest neighborhood. Very clean and well put together. The only draw back the walls are extremely thin so you can hear everything and they were doing renovations that we weren’t aware of so people started doing construction practically on the back porch early in the morning and we had no idea this was happening. Also the washing machine and dryer is coin based which can be misleading.

Perfect

My boyfriend and I spent a week at this adorable little place, which quickly became our “home away from home”. We were delighted at all the small and thoughtful touches, from the basket of snacks in the kitchen, to the shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in the bathroom, and even to the little Ghirardelli chocolate placed upon the basket of clean towels. I was very happy to discover a hair dryer for guest use, which came in very handy since I forgot to bring mine! There were also plenty of thoughtful amenities in the kitchen which we used throughout the week….pots and pans, dishes, utensils, food storage containers, hand soap, dish soap, sugar, tea packets, and extra garbage bags. There were even a few laundry detergent pods, scent crystals, and fabric softener sheets available! The building itself was very quiet, as was the neighborhood. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and we would move there in a heartbeat if we could afford it! 😊 There are lovely restaurants, shops, and bakeries within a short walking distance and we had a very nice time exploring the area. Neither of us wanted to leave our darling little place and we cannot wait to come back. Theresa was very responsive and very kind and I thank her for making our stay a most memorable one!
