A perfect location and amiable, helpful host. The house is very well equipped and spacious. We (2 couples) appreciated the garage for our bikes, the washer, the affordable price, the 3 floors to spread out among, the view from the top floor and Fred's flexibility with our arrival time. He was also an excellent communicator and the self check-in was easy. We had everything we needed.
This may have been the family home at one time and contains great old pieces of furniture and paintings from a family member. There are touches you would only do for your own home, like the pug sculpture at the foot of the stairs, the wood burning fireplace, the large glassware collection. The house has a warm lived-in feel like the family has stepped out. But they've been gone awhile. They left plenty of linens and cooking staples. The upper floors squeek loudly and the beds are not comfortable. The curtains have known strong sun.
My husband and I would gladly stay here again. We now know what to expect and we're good with it. But the other couple was fastidious and would not be staying with us.
