This house has it all. The photos tell the story of a charming, warm and spacious house, but what you don’t see is what really makes this an amazing spot. To start, the location is phenomenal. It is one block from the main street of a neighborhood stocked to the gills with great restaurants, both food and retail shopping, and coffee houses. It’s also one block from a bus stop, which is handy if your party wants to go in separate directions and only has one car to share. Even though the house is centrally located, it is peaceful and quiet. The house itself has been completely updated - heated bathroom floor and professional grade range for example, while retaining all the charm and detail of an older home. The owner is meticulous and thoughtful, which translates to a very clean and well-stocked home, but not one that is cluttered with the remains previous guests or overly personalized with the owners’ belongings. I loved the artwork and furnishings, and everything was well-placed and comfortable. In the bedrooms the mattresses and sheets were wonderful, and the closets were gargantuan. Little touches like luggage racks were thoughtful additions. The owner was immediately helpful with anything from a sticky lock (she was over in five minutes) to restaurant recommendations. She clearly has house pride, but doesn’t impose the care of her house on her guests, only asks that they are respectful.

Our family ended up spending more time at “home” than we did sightseeing because the house was such a pleasant respite. Thank you Becky, we’ll see you again!
