This is a great old home, oddly sandwiched between apartment complexes (some noise on weekends as a result). Behind the locked entry gate, you enter a world of a by-gone era. The house is very spacious, the accommodations working well for a large family group. However, carpets were worn and furniture a bit rocky, gardens bare. With a bit of effort, this could be a showplace, but as a rental it offered what we needed: a large, comfortable family space for the 10 of us, near the train and grocery, and quite comfortable.
