The house is an old-style Victorian and very true to its original character. The bedroom faces the street, and things quiet down fairly quickly after about 10PM. The neighborhood is great: easy access to public transportation and great eateries nearby. What the house may be lacking in up-grades is off-set by the hosts' gracious nature. This is truly a loving household and I felt very well taken care of by both Doug and Richard. I would definitely come back!
