NOT Whole House
The accommodations were very nice, bathroom essentials box was a nice touch. We did stay in the basement apartment which I could figure out from the photos, but it was stated in the ad whole house, and when I emailed to ask about it I never got a response. However I did email during our stay and received a response quickly. Also, there needs to be blackout curtains in the bedroom, there is a security light outside the window that kept coming on during the night. All in all I’d stay there again.

Locust Avenue stay
Indoor area very clean, outdoor seating area not. Shower was awesome, kitchen well equipped and living space nicely furnished. Multiple units in the house, our 2 bedroom basement area was a great space for our visit.
