Sterle Historical Home in Downtown Temple - 3 Bedroom Apartment
About this house rental
Downtown Temple Enjoy the 3 bedrooms upstairs apartment of this historical home only 2 blocks north of the Amtrak Train Station, the new Santa Fe Plaza, Santa Fe Way, and Depot. Conveniently located within minutes to everything Temple, Belton, Salado, and Waco have to offer. Easy access off and onto IH35. The Historical Downtown House has an upstairs apartment with a ½ kitchen, living room, 3 bedrooms, and a full bath - all making up 1500 square feet. Two queen beds and a full-size bed can accommodate six people. Add an extra person with the futon couch that doubles as a sleeper. The kitchen has a microwave, refrigerator, and freezer. Sit out on the upstairs porch in the morning in the Adirondack chairs and savor a freshly brewed cup of coffee as you watch the sun come up. A large living area is perfect for late-night movie watching and popcorn night. Finish off the evening with a glass of wine on the porch as the moon rises over the city skyline. Located on the house's first floor are an art studio, art gallery, office, and full kitchen. The downstairs is a shared space and the upstairs is reserved and private for booked guests. As you walk in the front door you will walk through the gallery and take the stairs to your 3 bedroom apartment. Important to note that access to the apartment is a long narrow staircase that might be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues, and as a shared space that doesn't close off, noise will travel from the gallery space to the upstairs apartment and vice versa. Also, no door separates the upstairs apartment from the downstairs gallery. This property is located in the heart of Downtown Temple and is walking distance to many nearby attractions, restaurants, local events, and businesses.

Wonderful!
Such a cute and historic house. Loved the way Susan refurbished this home. Every aspect was on point and enjoyable. We were fine without a stove since there was a microwave.
We could hear a traffic at night but it was tolerable.
Susan was very pleasant and even set up a table and left out brushes for us to do some painting. :)
Thank you Susan. We hope to make it an annual visit!

Interesting Stay
The property was nothing like I imagined and that was because I did not read the listing well. Everything is as described, please read carefully!
The apartment (basically upstairs portion of an older home) only has a fridge/microwave/sink and table for 4. There is a coffee set up as well. I would say no more than 6 can sleep comfortably. I was the 7th and the futon was like a rock, we bought a blowup mattress for the second night. The area is near downtown and what sounds like a loading dock just behind the home. The host was easily accessible and quick to respond.
We traveled locally to see a pumpkin patch and meet up with familia. We were grateful for all the memories made and thought it was a good weekend overall.

Convenient Location
We needed to commute to Waco a couple of times and the location was great. As noted, the stairs are indeed both steep and narrow, so we doubled up on caution. It’s definitely an older home; every step you take can be heard. I wouldn’t recommend for those who want to actually cook as the downstairs kitchen is through the gallery and seating is very limited. It’s a unique accommodation and we enjoyed viewing the art.

Art gallery home
The home was very clean and was a perfect fit for our family. It reminded me so much of my grandma’s house when I was a kid. Definitely enjoyed seeing Susan’s paintings as you enter through the gallery. Would definitely recommend this home.

We really enjoyed the Sterle Historical Home - it had everything we could need for an enjoyable stay. Susan was incredibly kind and made herself available. She even shared an interest in the work we were there to do and joined us for a special event. The artwork in her studio is beautiful, and a cup of coffee on the porch each morning was the perfect way to start the day. Would definitely book a stay again. Thank you for the hospitality.

Nice
Susan is very nice and inviting. The apartment was clean, comfortable and nicely renovated.
There are a few things I think need to be mentioned.
In the description she does mention the art studio on the first floor. So if she has a class going on there is not much privacy due to the open staircase up to the apartment. Also, there is a TV but no local channels just Roku.

So cozy and comfortable!
Would love to stay here again. Susan is great. Love historic, old homes. Her place has a lot of character and an overall good energy. Felt so comfortable, and honestly, like at home. Highly recommend this place to stay!
