Cheaper than a hotel and this building really takes you back in time. The porch was a great place to sit out and relax on a pleasant evening. A few things are a bit rough around on the edges, but clean and glad to see this property being preserved. Would stay again!

Amazing place to stay, super clean and very good location. Nicole was very communicative and very punctual with her messaging. I would visit again any time

Nicole was a great host—very responsive! Getting into the place felt like a reverse escape room, which was more entertaining than bothersome since I wasn't in a hurry. The neighborhood seemed nice, with someone nearby even checking to make sure their music wasn't too loud. I loved the lit-up porch, perfect for enjoying a nice cup of tea in the morning or in the evening. The bed was incredibly comfortable, though the proximity to a main road meant it was a tad noisy when trying to sleep. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. Historic buildings offer a unique experience, and the hallway pictures that offered some backstory added to the charm of my time there.
