Beautiful House - Excellent Location

Checking in is a breeze and the room had everything I could want. The location is wonderful for walking to the Strand/downtown which I love because I didn't have to pay for parking. It is also a great location for riding my bike to all of my favorite restaurants and to the beach. Karin was an excellent hostess, available when I had a question and she even helped me find my bike helmet just before I checked out (Thank you so much!). I definitely want to come back for another stay!

Mardi Gras

Great location. Between the Strand and few other restaurants. Felt different staying in this old style charm mansion. Top floor room getting to be too many stairs for my age.

Great location and host

The only drawback was we did not realize that the garden suite was in the basement. It all turned out well and Brian was a great host. On the plus side the suite was very large.

A lovely place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was awesome that we were able to bring our dog also. Great location- we loved being able to walk most places. Coffee shops, restaurants, shopping all within walking distance. Beautiful suite and very large which was nice since we stayed a week. We would love to stay again.

Great stay with comfy beds!

We loved the vibe of the house and of our room. The beds were great and the room was comfortable. The location is wonderful, either a short drive or a moderate walk to the Strand and other areas with good food and fun nightlife. We had one concern at check in, but were able to contact the property manager easily and the issue was resolved within 15 minutes. I plan to stay here again, especially if I travel solo since I felt extremely safe.
