Very cute, comfy 2 bedroom stay. Basement level but plenty of windows and light (just a somewhat low ceiling so I'm glad my 6'3" hubby wasn't with me). Kitchen is small but we didn't cook so it didn't matter. Convenient location, great coffee shop/eatery (Baskette) within walking distance. Parking is tight but doable.

Stay was exactly what we were expecting. Listing is accurate. Rooms/beds were comfortable. Neighborhood and upstairs renters were quiet. Having a designated parking spot was great. Washer/dryer was good to have as well. Host was easy to reach if needed. Nightly rate was good compared to similar listings. Would stay there again.
