Mimi’s House
We were so pleasantly surprised how serene Mimi’s House was. A beautiful backyard for conversation and bird listening. There was a great kitchen to work in as we were there for the birth of a granddaughter. The location was convenient to the hospital and restaurants. We will be back and stay at Mimi’s House again.

Challenges with appliances. TV dishwasher range and stove. On site property manager once by we could
Ok. Not a two bedroom. Trundle bed is inappropriate for adult. Too small. People were nice once we could get their attention. Appliances need to be attended too. Not working properly and TV does not get routine local stations to see football and Macy’s parade. They had to bring in a separate TV which we were great full. House full of guests for Holiday dinner. Football game a must.
