"Kind and cooperative host. Check in was quick, flawless. The building is beautiful in a remarkable neighborhood of yesteryear. Walk a block to Smoky Rows for great coffee. Take a stroll past hundred year old houses with porches and fences of days gone by. Fully stocked kitchen, ample parking in front and back. Nice kitchen back door. Good lighting, solid mattress and large screen tv. Quiet residents too. We will be back."
