We traveled as a family of two adults, a 3 year old, and a 6 year old. Michele's home was exactly as described - a historic home that was charming even in its floor unevenness :) We stayed during an abnormally hot few days and still felt very comfortable and cool with the fans and AC units. The available washer and dryer were very convenient traveling with young kids. We had no trouble finding street parking in front of the home. There were many cute places to check out just a few short blocks away (or less!), which was perfect traveling with kids that didn't want long walks - we particularly enjoyed Empire Tea & Coffee, Aidan's Pub, Sunset Cafe, and Pivotal Brewery. There is a big playground across High Street, and there is a sweet waterside playground with a pirate ship and a few swings on Thames. On a rainy day I paid for a one-day pass to Play Town on Hope Street that is an indoor play room perfect for little kids to get the wiggles out and play with toys missed from home. You can come and go all day and pay ahead online for a discount.
Michele's communication BLEW ME AWAY! So much thorough instruction and detail from the listing itself, to the entry instructions, to the Canva guide she created, in-home welcome note, menus, calendar, and binder. And when we were looking for a recommendation on where to watch a soccer game she replied instantly. Highly recommend staying at a Michele property! You are taken care of well.
