The house is incredible. We were able to easily cook in the well equipped kitchen and on the natural gas grill. The pool was immaculate and patio are very welcoming, private and comfortable. Everything in this very old house is charming in a big way, with vintage furniture and thoughtful touches, but everything that should be new and updated is: bathrooms, kitchens and bedrooms are all luxurious. Another nice touch was we could have brought only clothes and everything else we needed would have been available. Soap, shampoo, tooth brushes, even a well stocked first aid kit were available if we had a need.
Several separate areas are available to socialize and relax, and that’s before you even walk up the steps. The upstairs is like its own separate house, with two big bedrooms, a second kitchen and several common areas. Two families could easily vacation here.
The neighborhood is perfect. It was quiet and friendly, and there is tons of restaurants and bars within a few blocks. The grocery store is literally right around the corner, and a breakfast sandwich from Sweet 16th is a block away (don’t pass this up). We spent a lot of time on the wrap around front porch, which was comfortable and inviting.
Ida and David were clear about their rules, communication couldn’t have been better, and their welcome binder and information placards were very helpful.
I can’t say enough positives about this place and our hosts. The only negative was that we couldn’t stay longer; we were ready to move in. It was perfect from check in to check out!
