Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Such a beautiful historic place to stay. Perfect for a small family, small group of friends (that don’t mind one bathroom), couples looking to get away. Also, access to the garden patio is through one of the bedrooms. There is no all/day over night street parking. For parking you will want to park in the helix garage, or others of your choice that you can google. Coffee, restaurant, entertainment, and shopping are all walking distance. My husband has a prosthetic leg and we were about to navigate the downtown area just fine. Lexington has pay scooters sprinkled throughout downtown if needed. There is a small set of brick stairs going into the entrance of the building. All in all even during events this rental was centrally located, beautifully decorated, clean, and the host was amazing and easy to get ahold of for any questions. 100/10 would recommend!
