The room was nice and clean. But some of the other guest hosted a raging party where they were screaming, shouting, throwing things. It went on all night and it felt unsafe. When I called the front desk they didn’t do anything about it.

The owners are very friendly; the house is outfitted well for guests to feel at home and interact with one another, so it can be a great place to meet new people. My room was clean, efficient and comfortable. I was glad to hear that breakfast included eggs and bread as well as fruit and a cereal option instead of the carb and sugar-heavy options that are often offered for a free breakfast. I'm from a rural area and was on my own, so I didn't feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood, but was glad the side street the guesthouse is on was quiet, so I wasn't kept awake with city noises.

The property is nice, but if you are mobility impaired, it wouldn't work. The entrance has steep steps and there is no elevator on the premises. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was very clean with comfortable beds. The biggest downfall was the breakfast. It consisted of cold scrambled eggs and sausage. Luckily, there is a microwave available. The fruit was not fresh and the coffee was not hot. However, atmosphere was pleasant. Only on street parking available.
