Great location! Clean and quiet. Only suggestion to offer would be a little welcome pamphlet that might include reminder of the WiFi info, instructions on the fireplace, etc as well as recommendations for local shops. Most of this info avail online, but older guests might appreciate the information on paper as well.

The stairs are many and narrow especially moving luggage which I found challenging for me . Having off street parking was nice but the area walking to the unit is not well lit and I was a little uncomfortable given the neighborhood . Area maps and info would have been helpful but not provided . The kitchen area is small and could benefit from a couple storage cabinets . tv is a little small for the space and the seating is low and uncomfortable . Lighting in bedroom is minimal and living room lamp has to be plugged in to use and unplug off. Cozy for sure but could improve on creature comforts . Bath area /shower was great . Lower unit had a noisy tenant a few nights and their cooking smells permeated upstairs . I’d be concerned staying there if solitude is important as it is for me . It was great when no one was below . Overall I had a good visit but I’d probably look at another location on a future visit . I’m older and The stairs were really challenging for me .

I'll start with the good. The location and property were very nice. It has a pretty little courtyard in the back. The bed was amazing as was the shower! However, now the not so good. The fireplace wouldn't work and I didn't have good communication on how to fix it. The other thing is you could hear a crying baby the whole time! I get that it's a city but oh my goodness you could hear everything in the building!
