Linda is the best hostess. She made us all feel at home and shared the interesting history of the home. She knows all about Baltimore and was an excellent source of what to do in the area.

Such a gem in Baltimore! Linda was so welcoming and the property was impeccably clean. We stayed to attend an Orioles game and you cannot beat the location. Our room was comfortable, the bed was great and the sheets were so soft! There was tea and cookies available any time and breakfast was delicious. Great history associated with the house was an added bonus. We will absolutely be back!
