Blake’s home is absolutely stunning. This historic home is incredible and beautifully decorated. The best part is that it has the charm of an old house with the benefits of updated appliances, kitchen, and bathrooms! The home is also immaculate, coming from a recent bad experience with a musty Airbnb; this was a breath of fresh air (no pun intended). Blake was also highly responsive and incredibly understanding when our puppy had a moment of mischief and ate her tv remote (Ugh!! But we offered to pay for the replacement, of course).
The only downside of the house seemed to be some of the nighttime activity. We had parked on the street and happened to look out the window to see someone attempting to break into the car parked in front of us. We were able to set off our alarm to scare the person off, but that made us very nervous. Blake offered us her garage, and we were able to park in there for the rest of the stay. We also had another experience where we were sitting in the living room, and someone who seemed to be struggling with addiction or mental illness came on the porch and started waving at us through the windows and trying to sleep on the porch chairs. Our hearts went out to them, but with our baby with us, this type of activity made us feel uneasy about the neighborhood's safety.
