Apartment 21 is at the top of the stairs of a Historic Victorian Building Built Circa 1854.

At bedtime, pillows are removed from the daybed and it becomes an extra bed for a third person, adult or child. The community laundry room is on the second floor. Laundry hours are 7:30am to 10 pm. A 4 yard trash receptacle is provided in parking lot for your convenience.

Laundry facilities on 2nd floor-2.00 load, US quarters The best part of owning and managing an airbnb listing is the people you meet, but I am very conscious that some people value their privacy above socializing with a host. I try to moderate my level of interaction so that the guest is comfortable. Of course I would love to socialize with everyone, but its really up to the guest to set the tone. Our neighborhood consists of mostly business, shops and restaurants, some with apartments on the second floor. If you frequent any of the businesses you are likely to meet the owners as well as employees, since they are mostly all, small, independant businesses. Both owners and employees are courteous and friendly. If they get to know your name, you will be greeted by name, which feels much different than going into a superstore where no knows you. It's a great feeling to know that you're important enough that they recognize you and call you by name. You can walk anywhere in town from our central location. Or take advantage of our one free bike rental per apartment and just leave your car in the parking lot. The post office trucks loading early in the morning may be heard in our house. Children must be supervised on the stairs and in the parking lot for safety. Realize that the house is almost 200 years old and there are still areas which have not been rehabbed or restored yet. It is a work in progress. Do not expect luxury.
