Pied-à-Terre
My husband and I use this home as our own pied-à-terre. Accordingly, we put a lot of attention into the details that make us feel comfortable when traveling. Some of those details include high thread-count cotton and linen bedding, and high quality fixtures and appliances. We're always thrilled to see others enjoying the home just as much as we do!
I would love to host you! Send me a message with any additional questions you may have.

FAQ's
Q: Do you offer early check-in or late check-outs?
A: We use this precious little time we have between guests to prepare the home following the CDC Cleaning Guidelines, as well as to complete any maintenance tasks, so your stay is uninterrupted. If you request an early check-in or late check-out, we will try to accommodate if possible but cannot confirm until a day or two ahead. If additional time is important, we recommend booking an additional night to your stay.
Q: Do you allow luggage drop-off for early arrivals or late departures?
A: We are unable to guarantee the availability of luggage drop-off, but will accommodate when possible.
Q: Do you offer a cleaning service?
A: Our cleaners can accommodate additional cleaning services for an added cost. Just ask us!
Q: Is the home ADA accessible?
A: The home is on a high first floor 12 steps up.
Q: Can I book on behalf of a friend, family member or co-worker?
A: While we would love to host whoever you are booking for, we do need them to book for themselves with their own account. For business trips or if you book travel for your company, Airbnb allows designated bookers at companies enrolled in Airbnb for Work to book trips on behalf of others.
