Really loved this stay! It was only one night so we didn’t get a full on stay experience. The owner greeted us and was so helpful getting our keys and showing us your room. Only thing was the bathroom had a bit of a funky smell but with us being there one night it was unbearable if you kept the door closed. Very comfy bed and super close for walking to everything!

This property has a lot of character, it’s overall clean, but it does need a little bit of TLC. It is very difficult to get heavy luggage up the narrow stairs
