Chris is a wonderful and responsive host. Directions are written everywhere— very helpful. The extra touches were appreciated and the kitchen is well stocked. I brought extra pans to make Thanksgiving dinner and didn’t need them. I didn’t bring knives and should have— there were knives but no truly sharp knives. It’s chilly in the winter— bring extra blankets/sweaters/socks. This house is aptly named, it is full of antiques and is a drafty older house. It is small, but the living room furniture is great for accommodating a group (we had eight for dinner). For sleeping it was reasonable with four people, but tight with six. If you bring six make sure a couple of them are children. The location could not be better— cute neighborhood, close to everything, lots of shopping and restaurants.
