Hi Madelyn, Thank you for your review and for your kind words about the home! We're so glad you found it beautifully furnished, comfortable, and clean. We also appreciate your feedback about the stairway. As part of the home's historic character, the stairs are a bit steeper and narrower than what you might find in newer homes.
