Owner gave a pass code to get into the property thru the front door. The same pass code was used to access bedroom doors inside but those locks were troublesome and didn't seem to work as intended. We learned to never close the doors to avoid the issue. In general everything appeared clean. However, our one year old ended up with very black hands and knees after crawling on the floors. Linens and towels were clean and abundant. Bathrooms were new and clean. The posting mentioned AC. We stayed here on one the hottest days on record. The AC was a window unit downstairs and did not provide any comfort for the upstairs. We opened the upstairs windows for some relief from the heat but constant noise from vehicles and people on the street all night long kept us from experiencing the "serenity" and "restful retreat" described in the posting title. The posting mentioned parking is available. There was limited and periodic parking available on the street in front. A picture shows the back of the property. Unfortunately there really is no parking there due to a small garage on the edge of the alley posted with multiple No Parking signs. We finally did park in front of that garage in violation of the signs. The fact that the police were just finishing retrieving shell casings from a recent shooting in that area was also a little concerning. In general it probably wasn't what I expected. The pictures appear bright and cheery. In reality it was older and less attractive than presented.
