We stayed in the upstairs apartment and it was nice and clean. The backyard area is great. The front porch isn’t really useful because you disturb the downstairs ppl. Overall nice place for the price.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2026
Thanks for the 5-star review, Joanne! Glad 2906 Chestnut Unit B was nice and clean and that you enjoyed the backyard. I appreciate the note about the front porch — we’re mindful of noise for downstairs guests and will add guidance to the listing. Happy it felt like a good value. We’d love to host you again at Stork Stays.
