Inside and out, this space combines the polish of a boutique hotel with the warmth and ease of home.

A bright, open concept first floor creates an ideal gathering space for the whole group. There is also a powder room between the living room and dining area.
The first floor has a dedicated workspace next to the dining table. The dining tale accommodates six, with two additional pub seats at the kitchen counter.

You will also have a private, fully fenced-in yard. And the house also has 4 dedicated off-street parking spots.

We`re committed to doing whatever we can to make your stay the best it can be. We absolutely love this city and would be delighted to share with you some of our favorite restaurants, museums, parks or attractions. We respect your privacy and will communicate as little or as much as you wish.

Because the Troy Hill neighborhood can feel a little snug, we were determined to offer our guests a large private yard under an open sky, along with private parking.

The neighborhood is compact, with narrow streets. Lots of houses have been renovated, but many have not.

Despite its gritty aesthetic, Troy Hill is a desirable place to live, because of the rejuvenation happening there, and its proximity to downtown, the Strip District, and Lawrenceville.

Two great morning spots are within walking distance:

* De Fer Coffee and Tea at 1800 Rialto St (6-minute walk)

* Scratch & Co. at 1720 Lowrie St (7-minute walk, amazing food for breakfast or lunch!)

The area is served by Uber/Lyft and the street is on the #4 bus line, which is an option for getting downtown.

You can also catch some nice views from Look Out Street Parklet, which is just a 3 minute walk from the front door.

If you choose to brave driving up and down Rialto Street, you can enjoy Herr`s Island, with its marina, dining at Redfin Blues, and a riverfront trail. It`s also just a 20-minute walk from the house, but make more time for the uphill journey back, or you can just call an Uber!

We`re available to help make your stay the best it can be, but the level of communication is entirely up to you. It is always our pleasure to make suggestions on where to go and what to do - from museums to our favorite walkable streets.

You will also receive a guidebook three days before check-in with recommendations and instructions for the appliances in the home.

Please treat our house with the same respect as you would your own home. We’ve put a lot of effort into making this into a lovely space to be enjoyed by our guests.
