Other Details to Note:
^Noise/Foot traffic:
We are best suited for those who want to adventure and take advantage of the location, not those looking for a quiet night on a weekend. Being so close to everything, the house is located on a busy street with a lot of people passing by. Sound machines are provided in each bedroom. You will likely hear some of the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood throughout your stay in the unit and may come across some locals on your walks to tour the town. On weekend nights you will hear cars and people outside, but that is the tradeoff for being in the heart of all the action!
^Parking:
Free street parking. On weekends in the late afternoon/evenings street parking may sometimes be full right outside the building. However, there is ample street parking around the block. [While you are not supposed to, my family and I parked for a year with no issues in the triangle marked area by the telephone pole and dumpster (we are not responsible if you get towed)]
