    Die Wohnung liegt am Stadtrand und ist daher sehr ruhig. Parken überhaupt kein Problem. Die Übergabe der Türcodes hat toll funktioniert. Die Wohnung ist sehr groß, vollausgestattet, wir haben nichts vermisst.

    Il ne manquait rien considérant que notre séjour était de courte durée. Pour une plus longue période, une laveuse et sécheuse auraient été nécessaires. Les lits sont très confortables. Nous avons rencontré notre hôte qui a instantanément réglé un...

    The property was lovely, spotless, and had everything we could need including plenty of parking. We were only there one night in peak season to go on a Celtic cruise.

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. This is a typical New England house built in the 1800's that has gone through extensive modifications to bring it up to date without losing it's original charm. However, the lay-out of the spaces and the size of the rooms are the same as when they were built originally and this could mean that some rooms are not the size or the lay-out that we expect from a modern house. Take note that the bathroom space may be tight for some people, but it is fully functional and the main bedroom is located in the attic (third floor). This house contains two apartments and there may be some ambient noise that travel through the walls (both ways). Thank you for letting us be part of your New England experience!
