Other things to note
To insure this is a good fit for you and you’ll be comfortable here, there are some things to note.
This is an old house. It has some of its original 120-year-old detail and that can be a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective. It is a quirky private older home and not a homogeneous hotel or newly constructed McMansion.
Though cats do not live in this apartment (unless you want one to) they do live in the house so you will see them in the hallway and they may greet you (or run away from you) on the porch.
The tap water is good and tested constantly so please drink it.
