Nice house, close to downtown, if you're a good walker there are steep stairs down the bluff leading right to downtown.

We're sorry that you had that impression. More that 30% of our guests book through 3rd party websites and we will NEVER treat our guests differently.

Absolutely stunning property. Most of the house contains original features, including beautiful woodwork and windows. Highly recommend The Library, a huge and impressive room complete with spacious whirlpool bath. In addition to the beauty, the owner is warm and welcoming. Cannot praise it enough!
