Back at our duplex, the backyard is a beautiful spot for guests to relax. Keep an eye out for our resident blue heron, who occasionally catches goldfish from the pond. We frequently have to buy new goldfish because of the blue heron's antics. There is also a naughty squirrel in the backyard who digs in the plants, chews on hanging lights, and removes stuffing from chair cushions. We offer off-street parking in the driveway, which can hold several cars as long as they are smaller, because the driveway is very narrow. Guests need to make sure not to block the sidewalk. If you have only a few people, be sure to check our other listings to rent only one of the units, whether upstairs or down. Alternatively, feel free to message us with any questions or special requests. When it comes to transportation, options abound. Take a taxi, Uber, or the TARC busline to explore the city, or opt for a more unique experience with horse-drawn carriage rides, bicycle rentals, or segways.
