The space This cozy rental unit is located on the second and third floors of a two family house. (please note that Airbnb’s definition of “entire home” is a home or house that may stand alone or have shared walls, where guests have the entire space to themselves. You are not renting the entire house, this is a two family home and the owners live in the rest of the house ) You enter from a private second floor deck into the main room, featuring a fully equipped kitchen with an antique farm sink, books, board games, a coffee station and a flat screen tv. Although this room isn’t large, (200 sq feet) there is seating for 8 and a coffee table. For additional dining options there are tray tables available, and a large outdoor dining area. The side bedroom features a twin over double bunk bed. There is a pack n play for those with small children. In the front of the house is a small sunroom, which can also be used as a bedroom, with two loveseats that pull out into beds. Up a set of stairs to the 3rd floor is a charming converted attic. This is a loft style space (very low sloped ceilings - 5' 10" at its highest) with one queen and two twin beds. The bathroom includes a tub/shower, bidet equipped toilet, and a vanity stocked with amenities. There is a spacious private hot/cold water outdoor shower at the base of the steps.
