This house is beautiful! The stain glassed windows are gorgeous and the wood floors awesome. The beds are extremely comfortable and the large shower was a nice addition. It is a perfect place to stay for a large family or group of friends. The location was very close to the street car, so you didn't need to Uber everywhere. We went Halloween weekend and got amazing group shots on the porch and by the front gate in our costumes. This house has A LOT of character.
Challenges: We had to request ice, paper towels, and ran out of toilet paper on the morning we left (there were 10 of us). Trash from previous guests was left and we ended up sweeping the floors because they were dirty. The dish washer was broken and was being replaced after we left (host took care of our dirty dishes) This will probably be fixed soon, but the back porch needed some love-the railing was broken and wood was buckled so we tripped on it a few times.
There needed to be directions for how to use 3 remotes and how to connect phones to TV. Host talked us through it though. The oven is great, but words around knobs were rubbed off, so we had to look up the manual to use it.
Things you can't change but need to know: There is road noise. Old windows = noise, so bring a noise machine. When a big truck or maybe it was an airplane goes by, the entire house shakes. The first time it happens, it's a little scary, but after that it adds to the house's charm.
Overall we had an AMAZING time and this house was perfect. None of the challenges and things that can't be changed are deal breakers for us wanting to stay here again.
