???? Security Deposit: A $200 returnable security deposit is required for each reservation.

???? Triplex Living: The Historic Gem is one of three apartments in a historic triplex. As with any well-appreciated old building, you may occasionally hear light sounds from neighboring units—it’s all part of the appeal!

???? Primary Guest: The guest who made the reservation must be present for the duration of the stay.

proud of. To preserve the quality of our linens and finishes, please refrain from using bleach-based cleaning products during your stay—our team handles all the deep cleaning between guests.
