About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Mr. Holmes Retreat

Only a block from Butler St. on a quiet street. Relax on the couch and watch 50” smart TV or work with 300mbps high speed fiber optic internet.
Create a meal in the fully appointed kitchen, or grab takeout from the best restaurant area in the city!
My main focus is to provide my guests with seamless lodging experiences & top-notch amenities.
Also small pet friendly (well behaved, smaller dogs only, shedders may incur additional cleaning fee).
No parties and no smoking inside.

The property was awesome. We had a challenge with the only bathroom being upstairs because my mom is in her mid 80’s.

Worked for us!

The property was as advertised. The lodgings are "compact" and adequate for what we needed. The wifi was a bit spotty. Diana, our host, was very responsive when there was a minor glitch that kept getting compounded.
