This is a charming old home in heart of historic Yorktown. We could walk to the battlefield, restaurants, the water, everything was very close. The host was friendly and the check in process was easy. My lack of the 5th star is two fold. One, we understood that it was not a full home rental but we were a bit surprised to walk directly into his personal home/space. The rental rooms are through the living area and upstairs to the three bedrooms and full bath. I thought it might have been a separate entrance that led directly to the second floor. My adult children were a bit uncomfortable with this but I assured them it was safe. Not an issue, just a surprise. The second concern was the downstairs AC broke the day of our arrival and was not repaired during our three nights. The host offered fans and the upstairs unit was trying to keep up with the demand, but it was quite warm during our stay. The heat wave did not help and the host kept the doors and windows open. We felt safe in the home and area but if privacy is a top priority, this may not be the rental for you.
