If you love historic homes with modern touches, this is a great place to stay! We had a tremendous time here, and the area is really walkable. We truly enjoyed our evening stroll through the neighborhood. The back yard area was a great fit for our dogs, and the yard is well shaded. The weather was unusually warm for May, and the thermostat only goes to 65 (very common for VRBO's), so if you love a cold house like us, you might struggle a bit. But there are plenty of fans to help. Our hosts were so generous with their time, and we can tell that they want everyone to feel welcomed and accommodated. If you like to cook at home, you may need to bring some seasonings, etc. as those are limited, and while the house says it sleeps 8--and the table seats 8--there are plates, etc. for 6 people. No biggee for us, though. We will DEFINETLY put this on our "repeat stay" location if we travel through Madison area again!
