Weekend at Jim's

Lovely. Enchanting. Peaceful. Didn't want to leave. Big 'home away from home' vibes.

Wonderful all the way around

I spent three days here, and if you’re looking for a getaway where it’s quiet and peaceful, this is it. The bed is insanely comfortable and the history of the apartment will inspire creativity. Host is superb. I will 100% be back.

Cute, Quaint, Colorful

Loved the welcome goodies. Extremely clean. Very quiet neighborhood. Owners were absolutely fantastic, desiring to help make our stay perfectly comfortable, including with their friendliness. Julie even same day shipped us an iron and ironing mat! I enjoyed playing Jim Croche's records in the living room while visiting with family. We used all appliances in the kitchen without a problem. The ONLY downside was how firm the mattress was. Regardless, I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
