8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
The property itself was gorgeous and had a lot of charm, and overall our stay was enjoyable. That said, there were a few issues worth noting for future guests. One of the bathroom doors was off its hinges when we arrived, and the fan and lights in the master bedroom did not work. The AC could have been stronger, especially in the warmer parts of the day.Privacy is limited — as expected for a downtown location — but you can literally see into the neighboring house from the bedroom. The parking situation was also tricky. It’s street parking only (first come, first serve), and while that’s completely normal where I’m from (NYC), the neighbors became upset when we parked in front of their house, which was uncomfortable.All that said, the property itself was beautiful, well-located, and had a lot to offer. With a few repairs and some clarity on parking expectations, it could easily be a five-star stay.
