The people were amazing and had a great B&B personal atmosphere, but not so fun for kids, and does not feel very safe. The deadbolt did not work and the door lock was questionable. The Uber driver warned us to walk in groups in the area. The air conditioner had towels jammed between it and the wall. The room felt sticky. Otherwise it was clean and very unique (old house after all). If you are looking for a unique personable place, this is for you, but if you are concerned about safety, this is not ideal. As this is a big concern for us, we did not stay to full booked time and we will not return.

There were so many little extras with this property, it is not just a "room". From the happy hour, coffee at the door, breakfast, night cap, ride into dinner, and the absolutely amazing staff who go above and beyond to make the stay an absolute pleasure! The only excellent they missed is the sidewalks in the area....to which they have no control. I highly recommend this place. You will need to be okay with stairs. 😊
