Harry’s River View couples relax, historic town

MariateresaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Driving back from the funeral of a favorite Uncle and dealing with family drama my soul was craving peace, comfort and a respite from everything for a bit. I found that respite in this Air BnB. The river view was blissful and everything was as described, no hassle and no surprises. Here are some things that I hope the reader finds helpful. 1) You can get the keys from the back porch entrance but bring your luggage up thru the carport door or the front don't try to bring your luggage up that spiral staircase. 2) Bring any silverware you may need and a coffee stirrer 3) The device to the side of the bed IS NOT THE AC CONTROL, lol it is the sleep number bed remote. Check that both sides are set to the same setting before getting into bed. Fun fact: Another guest must have thought it would be funny to switch one side on high and the other side on low. The bed sags on one side if you do that. It was so peaceful, I loved it. She couldn't have been more sweet and delightful.

Absolutely one of the best airbnbs we have stayed in. And we have stayed in a lot! Perfect location in charming Old Town. Lovely gracious townhouse. We arrived to a whistle clean house. Beautifully appointed. Fabulous linens on the beds. Each bed had a multi pronged phone charger on the night stand. A water carafe. Hamilton had set a beautiful dining table for us. It was these touches that shows how much Hamilton understands about having a top notch airbnb. I would absolutely recommend this airbnb. We look forward to staying there again! The place is sunny and bright. Two blocks to the water. Walking Old Town is delightful. You will not be disappointed!
