It's a super old, very unique house. The bed was comfortable. My room only has a bathtub, no shower. The owners were super nice and breakfast was amazingly good. The neighborhood is a bit rundown and there is only street parking but there was plenty available.

It is a cool old house in a dramatic state of disrepair; tattered linens, stained carpets, roof panels missing. Towels were stained. The owners are very nice but I would not stay again.
