- 2 blocks from the river.
- 2 blocks from Market street,
- Minutes to the hospital.

- This downtown Wilmington, NC historic apartment is a perfect place to stay when youre in town.

- On Street Permit Parking for residents and guests. Usually in front of the home, very rarely do you have to walk a couple of homes down.

- Its surprisingly quiet for being so close to town, but occasionally you will hear an ambulance or fire truck, a loud car, or a garbage truck, but nothing unusual.

Note: This is a 136 year old home, its beautiful, has character, but there are creaky and wavy floor boards, walls and doors arent perfectly straight. Also, due to being a historic home and having old windows, some are only operable for emergencies, please do not open windows due to possible breakage. For fresh air, please open the door.

Lastly, we’re human, not machines or a conglomerate. We just love Wilmington and want to share it. We enjoy hosting a part of our home and helping people experience Wilmington. We do our best to provide a nice, clean, and comfortable spot for guests. If you need something or have a question or have a concern, just communicate with us! We’ll be happy to provide recommendations or make something right.

Notes
We live in the main house and will be available to meet you, provide suggestions, and help if an issue does arise!

Airplanes/ helicopters pass over the downtown area during the day. It can be noisy, but is not typically loud. The entire downtown area experiences this, we just want our guests to know ahead of time.

We live in the main home so you may rarely here us or the doggos, but pretty rarely. Typically the dogs may bark if/when they notice you on the porch or near our front/ main door. But will settle down after a minute or two.

Note: This home is 136 years old, and although many aspects have been updated and refurbished... it is 136 years old (wavy floors or crooked doors). Personally, we love the character, whereas someone else may not. Just keep this in mind. We love it! Also, if an issue arises or you have questions, we live here and are here to help.

Guest occupancy stay contract to be signed.
