Built in 1890, Hensley House is a beautiful Historical Landmark with Queen Anne style architecture located in a neighborhood of Victorian homes and walking distance to historic Japan Town. We occupied the entire third floor which is a comfortably appointed attic apartment suite with kitchenette, full bathroom, 2 flat screen TVs, has unique architectural roof details, and eyebrow windows original to the home. The furnishings are an eclectic mix of Asian and Victorian but it works! The King size bed, complete with comfy bedding, was warm and toasty in the evenings. There's a twin bed tucked into a cute alcove and, if needed, the sofa in the living area could also be used as a bed. The kitchen is well equipped with a full size fridge, dishwasher, and the hosts provide just about everything to start your vacation off--coffee pods for the Keurig, tea bags, creamer, etc. There are even various spices, probably left by past guests, to season up whatever you cook on the 2 burner stove. Well stocked with cookware, utensils, dishware and cleaning supplies we had everything we needed for comfortable 2 week stay. The spacious bath with a double sink Victorian style vanity, was well stocked with fluffy towels, shampoos and body soap. Hensley House is a welcoming space to come home to after a busy day of visiting, shopping, or sightseeing. Secure parking is available behind a gate. There were days we just stayed in to enjoy the space. The front porch of the house is a comfy outside hang out space with 2 outdoor sofas perfect for when you have a visitor or two. The awesome hosts were quick to respond to our inquiries and made sure we were restocked with fresh towels and coffee supplies.
There is some construction going on, but for us, no worries because we were gone most days. If you're looking for absolute quiet, this might not work for you. But if you love Victorian style houses, exploring lovely tree lined neighborhoods walking distance to restaurants and little shops, Hensley House is perfect for you.
