Transformative but subtle
Pros
Has a lot of character, well maintained, peaceful, a great place to catch your breath in the midst of a hectic city life
Cons
A little drafty in the winter because it is an old house, especially the side that faces north. The house is double insulated but there still can be a chill in the air, which can be offset by turning up the heat.
Advice to the owners
Don;t quite know what to say about the drafty north side, maybe thick curtains would help?
Great Location and Great Company
Pros
The house is a beautiful, historic building with a storied past. The furniture is eclectic and fun and makes the place feel very homely. The building feels safe because it is raised from street level and there are multiple locks. All appliances are managed extremely well and maintenance is wonderful. The house has a calming energy and a protective feeling to it that I found very appealing. Great experience!
Cons
The neighbours at the end of the road can be a bit rowdy, but the area is otherwise excellent.
