Lois & Santino's home is exactly as pictured - bright, lovely and very clean. We had 4 adults and 4 young children (ages ranging from 4-6 yrs). The space is well designed, well organized, well stocked and spacious. Their home contains beautiful items along with a lot of old charm since the building is over 100 yrs old? Despite it's age it's very well maintained and you can see the love that has been poured into renovating it. There is a playground across the street, but it's best suited for older kids. It's a tight squeeze for 8, so I would say it comfortably sleeps 5. There is no dedicated parking. We never had an issue finding street parking, but with young children everything is trickier. The street is a busier street and depending on where you park you might find yourself having to trek in tow sleeping children and then climb up a solid flight of stairs. Also the bathroom does not have a traditional tub, so if your toddler is more comfortable taking baths this something to consider. Overall Lois & Santino were great hosts, very responsive and patient in answering all of our questions. I would definitely recommend their beautiful home for couples, or couples with older children.
