Nicely restored historic property, small rooms

The property was recently renovated, and everything still feels fresh. The rooms are a bit on the small side, and the king size beds shrink the rooms further. But the property is clean, it feels safe, and it is conveniently located near the heart of town.

Great location

Had to call 2 hours before check in for check in information. Room was on the second floor (nothing in the room description prepared me for that). The rug in the room was dirty, as was the ceiling fan that had dust dripping off of it. The room was quiet, we appreciated that when there was a couple staying that had a baby. Sharing a house with other people has its challenges, like we would have in enjoyed a cold drink with ice, but someone cleaned out the ice .. not a single cube left. One couple was pleasant, another single man took over the common area with his computer for 2 days and made it his office. Finally, when the house is more full parking is tight. There is a bush on the west side of the property well into the parking area by 4-5 feet. That needs to be attended to.

Ashley the property manager was wonderful. The 6 rooms are small and all share the kitchen and living room. Great for a bridal party or family gathering where everyone knows everyone. Too small otherwise. Except Ashley moved us downstairs across from living and dining and we had the place to ourselves as we were the only ones there. Interesting Taranto house history.
