Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It's lovely and quiet. Honestly, the photos don't do it justice. It is a well-restored Victorian house. This location is off the beaten path but has plenty of rooms to house many people.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Pros: Beautiful home. Very pleasant neighborhood to walk. Host responds quickly. Affordable for the space. Large sleeping capacity. Cons: Main bathroom shower could be cleaned of other people's bar soaps. Very unclear how to operate key box. Missing top sheets on king bed and regular pillows, just had pillows in decorative cases. Overall, nice home, we would revisit.
