The Magic House is incredibly charming! We were surprised at how spacious the house is. The back yard is cute. For an old house, having a dishwasher was great. Laundry in the basement was great especially with the amazing communication with Hobie, the host downstairs. We used fans in the attic studio because heat rises, but other than that, the house was very temp controllable. Being walkable to Hawthorne was great for restaurants and Starbucks. Backing into the 4-lane street wasnt ideal(as the woman across the 4 lanes backed all the way across and hit me-still working on insurance items with that), but there’s a light just down the street that makes it safe for our side of the street to back into the correct lane. Getting to and from downtown for work was very easy...just 11 minutes. The listing focuses on street noise and maybe it’s because we live in NYC, but we really were not bothered in the slightest. The house is stocked well with things needed to cook and clean. We were very happy with our month-long stay!!!
