This is a very old Victorian style house. It has noisy steam heat; barely working locks (some don't work at all), and sketchy electrical. We booked 2br/2ba, which got us the 2nd and 3rd floors (host lives on the 1st floor). Furnishings are old; kitchens are functional, but that's it. Water pressure was VERY low. The host is an extremely nice guy. He owns a small restaurant nearby that serves really delicious food and AWESOME shakes. The ad says that "off street parking is available". That's not really true. The street is usually parked up. The house has a driveway, but backing out off it requires a spotter. But we were directed to park in the lot of the school across the street (posted "school parking only"). Hopefully the host will upgrade some things, and this quaint old house will be a more inviting place to stay, but not for us.
