Like staying at Grandma’s house
No, seriously, it’s even decorated like Grandma’s, in the same seedy neighborhood she’s lived in for 60 years and refuses to move.
Decor-wise, it’s something you’d see featured as a “before” of an HGTV transformation, but that’s part of the charm. Tons of seating, like every bedroom has a sofa, and lots of mismatched chairs all around on every porch and the parlor.
To address the “not as advertised,” the house has 3 twins and a full sized bed on the 3rd floor, which worked for us, but might not for others. You have to be really friendly with whomever you bring, because to access the adjoining 3rd floor rooms, you have to pass through one of the 2nd floor bedrooms. I must say, the 2 second floor bedrooms are large and spacious. My kids loved the 3rd floor space.
A lovey but small 2nd floor bathroom with a clawfoot tub. We preferred the ground floor bathroom for showering because it was larger and had a big linen closet to store toiletries. Plenty of hooks everywhere to hang towels.
There’s a cute 2nd floor balcony I suspect gets used by smokers. I had a cup of tea there with my daughter. Also a bay window in one of the bedrooms.
My cousin who lives outside of York informed me the house isn’t in a great neighborhood. As I did no walking around, that didn’t bother me. There is a garage on the back of the property if you’re concerned about your vehicle.
