I am not sure how to write a review for this space as it is hard to describe how awesome it is. Maybe I am a little biased because I love this style of home but it was truly (as others have said) like being in a castle. Ryan is like a professional at this or something; the Airbnb is a well-oiled machine, meaning communication was consistent and clear and everything was as it should be. I did NOT want to leave. We had a short stay, so I didn't even get to enjoy some of the common areas but they were beautiful and interesting.
I really got the vibe that if I had been in the mood to socialize with other guests it would have worked out awesome and I would have had a blast. But I was not in the socializing mood and it still worked out perfect -- I didn't even notice the other guests. Basically it's a good place to stay if you want to socialize and meet new people OR if you want a bit of a relaxed/secluded stay.
I guess there have been complaints about the neighborhood in the past and I have to assume those are from people that are not very well-travelled. This is what America looks like so...don't be weird. The house is SO close to the train so it's basically the perfect place to stay.
