We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was safe, spotless, and located in a very nice neighborhood. You can tell the owner has put a huge amount of thought into making guests comfortable — the house was incredibly well stocked with anything we might have needed during our stay, with thoughtful consideration for the fact that guests are away from home. One example was a cookbook filled with simple crockpot recipes using minimal ingredients, which was such a clever and welcoming touch.The little details made the stay extra special, especially the delicious lemon scones waiting for us.We reached out to David twice, and he was incredibly responsive both times. He went above and beyond to help us secure a street parking pass for our truck, and he generously told us we could stay beyond checkout if needed.Most of all, he was just a genuinely friendly and cool guy who clearly cares about his guests having a great experience.The house itself was whimsical, charming, and so much fun. We especially loved the music room with the fantastic selection of vinyl albums and turntable. The beautiful green chandelier added so much character, and the beds were extremely comfortable.We would absolutely stay here again.

Had the most relaxing weekend in this historic home. The hosts thought of everything. Fully stocked coffee & tea station then there were snacks in the fridge. It was a nice surprise. Super friendly & accommodating. Great communication. Decor was homey & comfy. Flowed perfectly with the vibe of the house.
