I absolutely loved this place, it was so cute and comfy! I am one that loves antique pieces, and this made me feel right at home. Leslie was very responsive to my messages and questions. The neighbor hood was quiet and close to everywhere that I needed to go. I just loved and admired the charm of this home, thank you Leslie for sharing your home with me while I was in the area for work.
