Lovely accommodations, centrally located and easy short drives to great restaurants and shopping. Apartment is bright and sunny, perfect for two or more. Great communication from the host. Definitely recommend and will be back!
We had an excellent stay at Sergio’s home. The home is easily accessible and in a great location. Easy check in and checkout and parking right in front. Would definitely stay again; Sergio was an excellent host.
The apartment is spotless and was obviously updated not too long ago. Walkable to the best Gloucester beach. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. All in all, a great place.
The apartment was very nice, clean and a good location. There was an odor in the front room that we couldn't figure out. It reminded me of a wet dog smell. Other than that, everything was good.
Sergio was very responsive and provided all the necessary information before it was needed. Check out requirements were as simple as simple gets. We ate out exclusively during our stay, but note that the kitchen accessories and utensils are basic. Also, be sure to bring your own games, if desired.

What makes this property unique
This is a typical New England house built in the 1800's that has gone through extensive modifications to bring it up to date without losing it's original charm. However, the lay-out of the spaces and the size of the rooms are the same as when they were built originally and this could mean that some rooms are not the size or the lay-out that we expect from a modern house. Take note that the bathroom space may be tight for some people, but it is fully functional. And the main bedroom is located in the attic (third floor). Thank you for letting us be part of your New England experience!
