A great location
We had a group of friends 55+ yrs old stay in this quaint home. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the ambiance of the older home with a collection of old furniture. The bathrooms are updated and clean and we all were very comfortable in our beds. Only a block from the main street with shops and restaurants. Would recommend this home to family and friends.

Property is very convenient and walkable to all of the main attractions in NOTL! Home is very nice and comfortable. Being the holiday season, the decorated Christmas tree was a homey touch!
