PLEASE NOTE

1) If traveling with young children, I recommend checking out one of my other listings. The stairs to the apartment are open at the top.

2) There is no washer/dryer available in this listing.

3) There is one HVAC system for both units of the building, which I control remotely. I do my best to keep the temp comfortable for everyone. Message me with questions or if you need an adjustment during your stay. Window A/C units are installed in the bedrooms during the summer months as a backup.

The entire apartment is yours! During your stay you will have shared access to the driveway for one vehicle. The driveway extends from the street to alley. Street parking is also available. Keycode entry is used to enter the building and apartment.

As it goes with old homes, this place is not free of its quirks.

Currently, the HVAC system is shared by the two units in the home. The thermostat is located in the lower unit, but I do have remote access. I keep the heating and cooling at a comfortable temperature throughout the year. I’m addition, window A/C units are installed in each bedroom during warmer months as a backup. If you have an issue or request regarding this, just reach out. I’ll do my best to accommodate you!

The gorgeous original floors in this building can be creaky in spots. Sound machines are available in all bedrooms for light sleepers.

Once inside the apartment, you will have stairs to climb (please see pics). The stairs will take you to the hallway of the apartment. There is no door at the top, making this space unsuitable for small children.

During your stay, you may see our lawn maintenance team.

A very nice and comfortable place to stay! We loved the location - a very safe residential area close to amenities. We enjoyed our visit and will be back. Thank you for the lovely note and donuts Jackie - the Rivermen did indeed get the “W” :)

I'm familiar with the neighborhood, having grown up there. Quiet and safe and far enough to not hear Bradley shenanigans, but close enough for an easy walk to CampusTown for dinner. Took a lovely walk through nearby Laura Bradley park. The unit is nice, clean, big bathrooms, comfortable beds, and ample hot water. Jackie is a great host.

Jackie was a great host. The house was very clean and she thoughtfully left some snacks and pastries. She was flexible when I kept changing the dates and number of guests. The house a nice, big porch and the location is convenient. I stayed in the upper apartment which had everything I needed. The sitting area was small but comfortable. The kitchen and dining area was large. Unfortunately, the mattress was terrible. It was hard with huge divot on one side. I smacked my foot on the exposed metal frame twice. The vintage bathroom fixtures might have been quaint had they not been permanently stained, very unappealing and inconvenient to use.
