Number One was a very comfortable stop on our tour. It has easy access to so many points of interest and is a short walk to the co-op. Everything in the house was well designed and super functional. Having a washer and dryer is amazing luxury when traveling with young people! Overall, I would highly recommend staying at this beautiful 2-story home.
