My family and I rented Kim and Greg’s place to be within walking distance of St Mary’s Hospital to visit a family member there. Our stay was wonderful:

* The place is even more beautiful than the photos suggest, with gorgeous wood flooring, architectural moldings, and paintings, sculptures, and other artistic touches that are both elegant and refined as well as cozy and home-like.
* It’s within walking distance of convenient, as well as fun, places, like major grocery stores, bakeries, and parks, and it was great to leave the car behind and just walk around the city.
* We didn’t interact with Greg, but Kim was a wonderfully kind, generous, caring, and attentive host, from detailed pre-arrival guidance, to leaving us fresh tomatoes and peppers in the breakfast nook, to dropping off a loaf of freshly-baked lemon pound cake on our doorstep, to checking in periodically to see how our family member in the hospital was doing, to responding quickly to all of our queries.
* Although quiet is requested after 10pm, we had a three-year-old toddler on a bizarre sleep schedule with us, so she was running, hopping, and talking at the top of her voice past midnight. Kim and Greg, the hosts, live in the downstairs unit, so they must’ve been disturbed by the noise, but they were very understanding and generous about it, telling us not to worry.

Two tips for prospective renters:

* Although the place is advertised as 1.5 bath, the half-bath is downstairs in the host’s unit. So for all practical purposes, it’s a 1 bath.
* The place has heating, but it’s controlled by the hosts downstairs. In Spring and Summer, this might not matter much, but in Fall and Winter, it does. Two members of our party were constantly cold. We requested Kim to turn on the heater, and in her kind, hospitable spirit, she did so every evening after that without us having to ask, as well as providing us with wonderfully warm, thick blankets. But inability to control the heat settings is something to be aware of.

Overall, we can’t recommend the place, and the hosts, highly enough. We hope we can stay there again under happier circumstances!
