Four blocks from the train station and a block from town, the university, and the seminary, this colorful 1870 Victorian home is walking distance from everything! (We are a 20-minute walk from the Princeton University Stadium.) Created to bring joy and delight, the house is festooned with hanging branches, whimsical paintings, and twinkling lights. Use it as a convenient base camp or as a restful oasis. In the spring and summer, the gardens are beautiful! This room is on second floor. A shared full bath with a great soaking tub. You have access to a small refrigerator, a Nespresso machine, and an electric tea kettle on third floor, so coffee, tea, and hot/cold water are always available! Feel free to enjoy and relax on the comfy couches and chairs in the back garden! You are welcome to eat your meals in the dining area or at the kitchen counter. I am in and out a lot. I will always try to welcome you, show you around, and answer any questions you may have about the area, what to do, and where to go. I can always be reached by text if you need anything.
