The space is in historic downtown Marshall. The large, comfortable room is on the 2nd floor of a two-story building. There are lots of amenities. Continental breakfast is included. Walk to attractions, shops, restaurants, bars & breweries. Private parking, for electric cars, too. All travelers are welcome. I simply ask that you be kind, and are respectful of the space. Interested in a longer stay but don't see the dates you need? Message me here on Airbnb as the dates may be available. The space The upstairs, downtown space is in the heart of Marshall! A short walk to restaurants, shopping, local theaters, and museums. A perfect location for participating in our many local events including; The Marshall Historic Home Tour, Candlelight Walking Tour, Blues Festival, and the 4th of July Cruise to the Fountain. If you need a long-term stay, I may be able to accommodate you. Let me know the dates you need in your message and I can let you know availability. Your accommodations are one large bedroom with a Queen size bed and an attached full bath. The very large bathroom has a roomy, stand-up shower (no bathtub). We have a roll-away bed and a Pack-N-Play for use by a child or infant (an extra $20 per stay for each). The bedroom and bath are located within the second-floor office space. The bathroom is attached to your bedroom with locking doors. The bathroom is occasionally used by me (during working hours only Mon-Fri 10 to 5) so I ask you to keep the door unlocked when not in use. The bathroom is for your exclusive use on nights and weekends. Most guests tell us it's like having a huge apartment and not just a bedroom, as they feel quite comfortable using the shared space even when we happen to be working. This space was designed to be an apartment, so it has everything you need. The area outside the bedroom and bathroom is shared by me and also very occasionally by my staff, during working hours. It includes a kitchen, a dining area that doubles as a workspace, and a sitting area, all available for your use. The office has very little traffic, and our main business is located downstairs. The downstairs business is open Mon-Fri. It can be a bit noisy during our open hours Mon-Fri from 7 am until 6 pm, but it quiets down later in the day. I am rarely around on the weekends or holidays, but if I will be, I let you know in advance. Weekday rentals are most suited to early risers or business travelers, and weekends and holidays should suit anyone. Continental breakfast items and beverages will be available for guests in our kitchen area. If you have specific dietary needs, I'm happy to accommodate them with enough notice. There is a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, a stovetop (please don't bake or fry anything that is greasy or smells strongly, there isn't a stove hood to ventilate), and a dishwasher for your use. The kitchen is stocked with basic dishes, a few pots & pans, an electric teapot, Kuerig, utensils, can-opener, corkscrew, salt & pepper, paper towels, dish soap, and dish towels. Please clean up after yourself in the kitchen and dining area. There is a private entrance and plenty of free parking. On occasion, the free parking fills up because of special events, but we have the use of our own private parking spaces nearby. If you happen to have an electric vehicle, we are right by the city charging stations. Guest access The large bedroom is private and has inside door locks. The attached bath is occasionally used by me during business hours. The rest of the space is shared. Mainly by me or by a staff member meeting with me. Our workspaces are separate from the bedroom and the shared space gets minimal use. I use the kitchen area for lunch preparation. All common spaces are regularly cleaned and sanitized. The bedroom is large enough to comfortably use our roll-away bed or our pack-n-play for a 3rd person. Unfortunately, our location is not handicap accessible. During your stay I prefer to meet first-time guests upon arrival to explain the Airbnb layout and a few other things I think it's important to know. I also enjoy meeting guests! If I am not available, my co-host/sister will check you in. On weekdays, one of us will likely be in or around the office during the day, up until 6 pm or so. We can answer questions about the area, give suggestions or just chat. If privacy is what you're looking for, we don't bother you after check-in unless you need us! Other things to note Your accommodations are above a business establishment. We operate Monday-Friday from 6:30 am and close our doors at 6 pm. We are open from 9 to 1 on Saturdays. The bedroom is fairly quiet though you may hear some noise from our business operating during open hours. I've not had any guests complain about it. There is also some traffic noise, because we are on the main thoroughfare through town. Though it hasn't been an issue with the vast majority of previous guests, it has bothered a few of those who tell me they are light sleepers. I have both a ceiling fan and an oscillating fan that can help with masking noise if needed.
