The second bedroom fits a twin bed and nightstand, that’s it. Our 24 y.o. daughter slept on couch instead due to the proximity of her parents bed and the fact we would have to enter the bathroom through her room. Maybe okay for a young school-age child or toddler. Main bedroom tight on the far end of bed. Kitchen could have had creamers for coffee and fresh tea bags. Otherwise living areas were very nice, location terrific, and Christie pleasant and attentive.

Location location location, fabulous place to stay with walking access to so many historical sites and places (literally around the corner). Comfy place too with great amenities that make you feel at home. Host also gave great tips about the local area and in our case the Jazz scene.
